[Patch] DVD bugfix in ide-cd.c

[Patch] DVD bugfix in ide-cd.c

[Fredrik Vraalsen]

This is a small patch to Linux kernel 2.4.1 that fixes a problem with
DVD playback in OMS (Open Media System).  With the stock 2.4.1 kernel
OMS will only play up to a certain point on the DVD before it complains
about no more data left on input (basically read() returns 0).  This
patch reverts a change between 2.4.0 and 2.4.1.

This patch made it work for me watching DVDs that used to stop, ie. oms
crashed. So I'll approve the patch :-)
