This patch removes write access to /proc/ide/hd?/driver without even
mentioning this - IMHO we should deprecate it first.  Such changes should
be described (with rationale for them) at least in the changelog
(or even better in Documentation/ide.txt).
I thought we discussed this earlier - its essentially unfixable. You can
either have trivial /proc crashes, deadlocks on writing this file or lose
the feature (which nobody on the planet even knew about). 

If you've got any ideas how to fix it then let me know.

Agreed about adding it to Documentation/ide.txt
