[PATCH 02/10] ARM: disable CONFIG_IDE in footbridge_defconfig

[Cye Borg]

I use pata_cypress on Alpha, and for the above mentioned problems,
it always restricted me to use only one IDE channel out of the two
available. Also, not forcing it to use PIO mode, it always failed to
operate. I would love to test on Alpha, and give you feedback about
a fix/finished implementation of the driver. I have both Alpha Server DS20E
and Alpha Personal Workstation 500 including that freak chipset.

Let me know if/when I can help with my limited capabilities.

Thanks, best regards,
Barnabas Viragh
