ide_pci_register() is needed because of legacy ordering assumptions (from BIOS and/or Windows) in case of many PCI IDE devices. If there is no possibility of other IDE PCI devices on your architecture it is safe to call pci_register_driver() directly (see ide_scan_pcibus() in setup-pci.c). BTW IDE part of the patch looks OK.
