1) Use lspci to see what IDE hardware you've got.
2) Use "grep -i Foo /lib/modules/<version>/kernel/drivers/ide/pci/*" to
   find matching module?

OR:

use pcimodules, which on my machine produces:

pcimodules
intel-agp
shpchp
piix
uhci-hcd
i2c-piix4
e100
eepro100
ohci1394
ohci-hcd
ehci-hcd
matroxfb_base

which looks about right.
