- Fix hdparm's ioctl parameter passing (John Brandwood)

eliminated CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING_FANCY_KEYS.  the size savings
was small, compared to the total size of the command-line editing
features, and it removed key bindings that most wouldn't consider
"fancy", like ^U, and 'l' and 'h' in vi mode, ^F and ^B in emacs
mode.
