ide/buddha driver cannot be unloaded currently (it lacks module_exit()).

pata_buddha also cannot be unloaded currently (also lacks module_exit()),
I think that we should leave it as it is until MFD support is added.

It should work exactly like the old code in case of X-Surf,
what do we need to release?
