That is probably a more correct approach.
Consider that if you do have PCMCIA, then you can plug a CF card in and, therefore, you have an IDE interface in the system. So, selecting HAVE_IDE if PCMCIA is enabled is entirely reasonable. What isn't so reasonable is not providing asm/ide.h if your architecture has the possibility of supporting PCMCIA.
