I think I could have a try to clean up CONFIG_IDE.

Two steps:
1. Tweak kernel-cache to remove CONFIG_IDE for all available bsp.
     It require necessary test to prove it is safe to remove it.
     If the test is OK, I will send patch to yocto mailing list.

2. After 1 merged to kernel, I will clean up hda related (systemd/udev)
     in oe-core, and send the fix to this mailing list.
