Good spotting, I overlooked this aspect of the change while testing it
with piix host driver..

After auditing some other host drivers I see that drive->id can be used
also directly in ->set_pio_mode methods..

Could you please instead try moving ->id allocation from probe_for_drive()
to ide_port_alloc_devices() (this would fix all such issues for good) and
verify that it also fixes the oops?
