Ben's change merely adds a knob that a platform may set, in order to 
enable the existing pata_platform driver, which is pretty safe by itself.

The next piece -- once not in 2.6.26 AFAIK -- is arch-specific code 
selecting HAVE_PATA_PLATFORM.  BAST IDE, I assume, can go away once 
relevant platforms start turning on HAVE_PATA_PLATFORM.
