I guess to look at this from another perspective.. if you don't have the ide-cd module loaded in the 1st place.. how does the kernel know you need the device? The kernel knows what it has drivers for, and just tries to load a driver for every piece of hardware it can see as soon as it can see it.. which I think is pretty logical.
