Old IDE is wrong on this and in fact unless it has changed recently simply can't cope with and doesn't provide functions for it. A libata driver can use the libata helpers but those also rely on the core ata code doing certain things so if you cut and paste it over you might have to make other old IDE changes in parallel.
