It's not used by any platform.
AHCI is very popular now. So IdeBusDxe is no longer needed in new platforms.

Hi Ray,

I don't object to removing IdeBusDxe. However, we should be clearler why we can do that.

We can remove IdeBusDxe because the replacement driver stack (see below) is backward compatible, and it supports IDE.

The replacement driver stack consists of:

• a platform-dependent EFI_IDE_CONTROLLER_INIT_PROTOCOL implementation
  (although nowadays a central one exists too,
  MdeModulePkg/Bus/Pci/SataControllerDxe)

• MdeModulePkg/Bus/Ata/AtaAtapiPassThru/AtaAtapiPassThru.inf

• MdeModulePkg/Bus/Ata/AtaBusDxe/AtaBusDxe.inf

(See for example commit b82802b, "OvmfPkg: enable SATA controller", 2015-09-22.)

Old (possibly virtual) platforms will still require IDE support for a while (such as the "pc" machine type of QEMU), but thankfully, the above modern driver stack offers that as well.

Thanks!

Laszlo,
Thanks for your comments. I agree the replacement driver stack should be provided here and in final commit message.
