[PATCH] Fix Alpha AXP Cabriolet build

This humble acolyte runs a couple of ancient Alpha AXP 21064 boxes (using
Debian Sarge), and recently when upgrading the kernel from 2.4.18 to
2.4.31 (compiling vanilla sources off of www.kernel.org) I found that the
build would fail when linking the kernel binary. The error was an
unresolved reference to:

     ns87312_enable_ide()

The Alpha variant used was "Cabriolet." The Cabriolet's are rather old,
circa 1995 or '96, motherboards based around the 21064, so I doubt that
there are many of them still running, but I like mine just the same ;-)

Anyhow, a simple one line fix to the arch/alpha/kernel/Makefile solves
this problem (patch file is attached). I've also attached the config file
I used for the build, as well as the boot messages from the kernel built
after the patch was applied.
