ACK the ide-{cd,tape} bits.

I've converted the ide-atapi part to rq->resid_len and from what I see,
the changes are compatible with the latest semantics of rq->resid_len
but it won't hurt if you could take a look too :) :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/bp/bp.git;a=commit;h=077e6dba20e74a455a0452379d2a965c7e1b01ad
On a side note, ide_pc_intr() does some transfer padding but that
doesn't affect rq->resid_len returning the remaining bytecount back up
to block layer.

Thanks.
