We can fix it nowadays, though I worry that by fixing it we may be 'creating
competition' for 'officially blessed yet unmaintained' PATA stack... 8-)

Subject: [PATCH] scc_pata: fix module unloading

scc_pata host driver predated module unloading support for IDE host
drivers so even though it supports PCI hot-unplug and implements
PCI device ->remove method it doesn't allow module removal.  Fix it.

Add missing __init/__exit tags to module_init/module_exit functions
while at it (from Peter Huewe).
