bugme.osdl.org doesn't know of a bug #3819.

Still doesn't make any sense. ide_fix_driveid is properly exported from
ide-iops.c, so you use it from other modules.  The only case that
doesn't work is modular ide and builtin usb-storage, and the BLK_DEV_IDE 
depency should fix that one.

If you think that depency is ugly (I do) just copy the routine to
isd200.c, it's a) too large to inline but b) just a trivial byteswap
that should need much changes over time.
