HERE ! You use VIA_IDE which is very old driver from:
Device Drivers > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED)
(Notice the big (DEPRECATED)).

You should use PATA_VIA from
Device Drivers -->
  <*>Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers -->
    <*> VIA PATA support

and uncheck
Device Drivers --->
  < > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED)

using kernel menuconfig. Then compile and reboot to your newly compiled
kernel and now your dvd drive should be seen as /dev/sr0.
