See http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/10/18/167 and the reply to it :-\

If you want to build IDE as modules and still have support for
combined mode, you will need the patch below:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ide/libata: fix SCSI_SATA_INTEL_COMBINED setting with modular IDE

SCSI_SATA_INTEL_COMBINED should be set in any case when both IDE and
libata drivers are present in the configuration, even if both of them
are modular.  Checking for IDE=y breaks existing configurations with
modular IDE drivers, because without SCSI_SATA_INTEL_COMBINED there is
no way to use libata drivers for SATA and IDE drivers for PATA.
