Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ide: add "ignore_hpa" module parameter

Add "ignore_hpa" module parameter (modelled after corresponding
libata's parameter) to allow preserving of Host Protected Area.

While at it make some Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt fixes:
- remove stale "idebus=" entry
- s/ide-core/ide_core/g
