The pci scan can't go away to get the nasty BIOS ordering crap right.
Andre now has that code as it should be however. The scan loop is
basically no more than
pci_foreach_device_in_weird_ide_order()
{
call probe function(dev)
}
Which also means we are really really close to hot plug ide controllers.
The probe function->generic pci init->driver->generic->driver-> chain is
still too ugly but its getting better and lives in a struct now
