* Remove obsoleted "idex=base[,ctl[,irq]]" kernel parameters
  and update Documentation/ide/ide.txt.

* Remove no longer needed ide_forced chipset type.

v2:
* is_chipset_set[] -> is_chipset_set in ide.c.

* Documentation/ide/ide.txt fix.

-For special cases, interfaces may be specified using kernel "command line"

-
-	ide3=0x168,0x36e,10	/* ioports 0x168-0x16f,0x36e, irq 10 */

-Normally the irq number need not be specified, as ide.c will probe for it:

-The standard port, and irq values are these:
-

-Note that the first parameter reserves 8 contiguous ioports, whereas the
-second value denotes a single ioport. If in doubt, do a 'cat /proc/ioports'.

-In all probability the device uses these ports and IRQs if it is attached
