Subject: sgiioc4: Disable module unload
From: Jeremy Higdon <jeremy@xxxxxxx>
This patch removes a module_exit function that sgiioc4 should not have had.
It seems that the IDE layer doesn't support submodule unloading. sgiioc4 was
the only driver in drivers/ide/pci that had an exit function. After an
unload, the devices would stay around and the next attempt to reference would
crash...
