    The warnings are way off track, because

    1. /dev/hd* means ide-cd which has never had the incriminated bugs,
    no matter if badly designed or not

    2. you can't tell from looking at /dev/sg* or the b,t,l if the device
    node is operated by the ide-scsi or sg drivers. Both use the unified
    /dev/sg* namespace.

    In fact, it makes sense to suppress the warning for /dev/hd* and ATA:
    which are known good.
