And especially keep in mind, that libata has practically *no* built-in error-handling or recovery mechanisms yet. If a drive gets into a "reset me to recover" state, then libata just might require a reboot to recover, whereas the IDE subsystem will usually try a reset operation at some point.
Not a problem with modern, mostly bug-free hardware (eg. most SATA), but this could be an issue for some PATA interfaces.
