SubjectRe: IDE class driver with SATA controllers
Quoting Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>:

Hello Jeff,

once there is reasonable support to indeed use libata as default,
we could just wrap a pass through IDE driver around, which allocates the
major numbers for /dev/hd* and just feeds everything to libata. Or are the
semantics too different?

Regards,
Julien
