block: remove last remaining traces of IDE documentation

The last traces of the IDE driver went away in commit b7fb14d3
("ide: remove the legacy ide driver") but it left behind some traces
of old documentation.

As luck would have it Randy and I would submit similar changes within
a week of each other to address this.  As Randy's commit is in the doc
tree already - this delta is just the stuff my removal contained that
was not in Randy's IDE doc removal.

1.3 IDE devices in /proc/ide
----------------------------
The subdirectory /proc/ide contains information about all IDE devices of which
the kernel is aware. There is one subdirectory for each IDE controller, the
file drivers and a link for each IDE device, pointing to the device directory
in the controller specific subtree.
The file 'drivers' contains general information about the drivers used for the
IDE devices::
> cat /proc/ide/drivers
ide-cdrom version 4.53
ide-disk version 1.08
More detailed information can be found in the controller specific
subdirectories. These are named ide0, ide1 and so on. Each of these
directories contains the files shown in table 1-6.

Each device connected to a controller has a separate subdirectory in the
controllers directory. The files listed in table 1-7 are contained in these
directories.
