Subject: [113/156] Revert "ide: skip probe if there are no devices on the port (v2)"

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: David S. Miller <davem@...emloft.net>

[ Upstream commit 9ce41aed0d392246eb788786253f242e829fd5e1 ]

This reverts commit a20b2a44eca52818ef52a94959480b7e6ea2f528.

As requested by David Fries.  This makes CDROMs which are slave drives
on a ribbon without a master disappear and causes other similar kinds
of badness.
