This patch fixes the automatic setting of ide_generic.probe_mask, when it is set to zero (like when default options are used) AND the PCI subsystem has detected primary and/or secondary interfaces. The effect is that those interfaces go undetected under those conditions. The former implementation misunderstands the information detected by the PCI subsystem, and may only work if one use ide_generic.probe_mask set to 0x3f (or 0x03, minimally), like the suggestion echoed to the console. Probably this has been stayed under the radar because everybody migrated to libata. Anyway, IMHO it's worth to fix it, as the code isn't entirely dead. If I'm not wrong, this change applies to kernels from 2009 up to now.
