Mauro Carvalho Chehab d7b461c5e8 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.

IDE warm-plug HOWTO
===================
To warm-plug devices on a port 'idex'::
# echo -n "1" > /sys/class/ide_port/idex/delete_devices
unplug old device(s) and plug new device(s)::
# echo -n "1" > /sys/class/ide_port/idex/scan
done
NOTE: please make sure that partitions are unmounted and that there are
no other active references to devices before doing "delete_devices" step,
also do not attempt "scan" step on devices currently in use -- otherwise
results may be unpredictable and lead to data loss if you're unlucky
