Probably passing unitialized stuff to driversfs, please try and memset
gd in drivers/ide24/ide-probe.c:init_gendisk()

        gd        = kmalloc (sizeof(struct gendisk), GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!gd)
                goto err_kmalloc_gd;
+	memset(gd, 0, sizeof(*gd));

pseudo patch. Does that work?
