As suggested by Geert, at least one of the drivers available for the Falcon
IDE interface should be converted to a platform device driver (to enable
module autoloading by the Debian installer).

Add platform device for Falcon IDE (patch 1), and rewrite the present
libata driver to make use of that device (patch 2).

Changes from v1:

Incorporated review comments by Geert; corrected silly mismatch between
platform device name and platform driver name that caused loading driver
to fail locating the related resource; check return code of platform device
register call.

Tested on ARAnyM with only the pata_falcon driver builtin.

Who's going to pick this one up? I can do it, but it'd be nice to have
m68k on patch 1 first.

Sorry for the late reply.  I'll have a closer look after ELC-E, and will apply
to the m68k tree if it passes.

BTW, I believe v1 of both patches has been acked by Bartlomiej?
