docs: ide: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

BUGGY IDE CHIPSETS CAN CORRUPT DATA!!
PCI versions of the CMD640 and RZ1000 interfaces are now detected
automatically at startup when PCI BIOS support is configured.
Linux disables the "prefetch" ("readahead") mode of the RZ1000
to prevent data corruption possible due to hardware design flaws.
For the CMD640, linux disables "IRQ unmasking" (hdparm -u1) on any
drive for which the "prefetch" mode of the CMD640 is turned on.
If "prefetch" is disabled (hdparm -p8), then "IRQ unmasking" can be
used again.
For the CMD640, linux disables "32bit I/O" (hdparm -c1) on any drive
for which the "prefetch" mode of the CMD640 is turned off.
If "prefetch" is enabled (hdparm -p9), then "32bit I/O" can be
used again.
The CMD640 is also used on some Vesa Local Bus (VLB) cards, and is *NOT*
automatically detected by Linux. For safe, reliable operation with such
interfaces, one *MUST* use the "cmd640.probe_vlb" kernel option.
Use of the "serialize" option is no longer necessary.
