PATCH 1/1 Revert "ide: change master/slave IDENTIFY order"

This reverts commit b140b99c413ce410197cfcd4014e757cd745226a.

[ conflict in drivers/ide/ide-probe.c fixed manually ]

It turned out that probing order change causes problems for some drives:

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10239

Since root causes are still being investigated and are unlikely to be fixed before 2.6.25 lets revert this change for now. As a result cable detection becomes less reliable when compared with 2.6.24 but the affected drives are useable again.
