2.5.38: modular IDE broken

[Bob_Tracy]

This may well have been broken in earlier versions...  The last one I
tried to compile before 2.5.38 was 2.5.34.  Quick problem summary:

ide-proc.o doesn't get built if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE isn't "y", so
depmod complains about unresolved symbols.

If I edit linux/drivers/ide/Makefile to force the build, I still end
up with various depmod errors, some of which would doubtless go away
if I turned off module versioning.  Anyone got a quick fix that I'm
too tired to see?  Here's the depmod output with ide-proc.o forced:

if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map  2.5.38; fi
