    	OK, before the next bunch of gendisk merges, here comes a couple
    of 2.5 IDE cleanups.
    
    	a) exclusion between rereading partition tables and open() is done
    in fs/block_dev.c these days, so homegrown one in ide.c is redundant - that
    code _never_ blocks now.  Removed, just as it had been done with counterparts
    in other drivers.
    
    	b) blk_ioctl() calls are done in blkdev_ioctl() now; driver doesn't
    need to handle them.  Again, removed as it had been done in all other drivers.
