[PATCH] serial_no displaed under /proc/ide/ideX/hdX/

[PATCH] serial_no displaed under /proc/ide/ideX/hdX/

[Antonio Gallo]

This you to "cat" the file /proc/ide/ide*/hd*/serial_no in order to
display the "Serial Number" of the selected HD, if available.

The patch just add this entries to the proc filesystem since the serial_no
is already there thanks to already implemented kernel functions.

I also added some few notes to the kernel.

The patch is for kernel 2.4.21, i also tested it with 2.4.22

The touched file are drivers/ide/ide-disk.c and drivers/ide/ide-proc.c

I'm no currently subscribed to the kernel ML so if possibile answer me back
to my source email address.

Thank you in advance, this is my FIRST kernel patch :-) i hope it is
usefull as it is usefull for me, bye!!!
