This patch to ide-dma.c defines a function 'int __ide_dma_no_op(void)'
and stores its address in function pointer fields with type
'int (*)(ide_drive_t*)'. Thus callers will call __ide_dma_no_op() with
more parameters than it expects.
This is invalid C and it will break horribly in some valid calling
conventions (in particular, when parameters are passed on the stack
and the callee not the caller pops them).
Furtunately the fix is simple: just define __ide_dma_no_op() with
the correct prototype (taking an unused ide_drive_t* parameter),
and drop the now redundant casts from the assignments. Also make
__ide_dma_no_op() 'static' as it is local to ide-dma.c.
