Yep, someone pointed that out in an earlier email.  I'm just trying to
figure out how to handle this for the best.

1) Provide a pci quirk that deletes the IDE device from the bus
2) Hack the IDE driver to not claim that device if it's on a PrecisionBook
3) Ignore the scsi device and let the IDE driver drive the chips
4) Er.. something else.
