MIPS: malta_kvm_guest_defconfig: Convert to use libata PATA drivers
IDE subsystem has been deprecated since 2009 and the majority (if not all) of Linux distributions have switched to use libata for ATA support exclusively. However there are still some users (mostly old or/and embedded non-x86 systems) that have not converted from using IDE subsystem to libata PATA drivers. This doesn't seem to be good thing in the long-term for Linux as while there is less and less PATA systems left in use: * testing efforts are divided between two subsystems * having duplicate drivers for same hardware confuses users This patch converts malta_kvm_guest_defconfig to use libata PATA drivers (tc86c001 IDE host driver has no corresponding libata driver yet so it is not converted).
