Look, the problem is easy. Backout the changes to ide_cdrom_do_request()
and cdrom_start_read(), then re-add the

	HWGROUP(drive)->rq->special = NULL;

in cdrom_end_request() before calling ide_end_request()

Something ala, completely untested (not even compiled). See the thread
about the ide-cd changes being broken.
