These changes belong to the patches making actual use of them...

BTW What is the ordering in which your patches should be applied?

Add a "key" (generation) field to the ide taks object so that we can fix
the crash when you unload a pcmcia ide device (and later other pci hotplug
devices etc) while having a proc file accessed

Add a remove function to be called on unload by later patches
Add a raw_taskfile function to allow drives to do command filters
Add configured bit so that we can differentiate currently ambigious
interface states when unloading.
Add a prototype for ide_diag_taskfile (for raw_taskfile users)
Add prototypes for the ide key functions (code changes in next patch)
