Or maybe disable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD (but I don't know if the PIIX libata driver will pick up just the CD drive). Or disable CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX. This is in approximate order of most-general to most-specific options; turning off the last option will disable the least amount of code. (I have CONFIG_IDE disabled entirely, but whether you can do that will depend on your current IDE chipset(s) and their level of libata support...) There may be ways to do this with kernel options as well, but I don't know of any offhand. Check Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt for the full list of flags; something appropriate may be in there. (At least that would let you avoid recompiling.)
