Yeah. I just want to get rid of this to allow myself to do bolder things
later on.
I have literally no time to do this and it's not really anything that
would make anyone money, but...
I want to add a few explicit devices:
ata-hd
ata-cd
sata-hd
sata-cd
With some shared state structures that implement common feature subsets,
like ata_registers, sata_registers, atapi_registers, etc.
I'd also like to separate out frontend and backend state providing a bit
of a cleaner division between device configuration (parameters on the
hardware creation itself), emulated device state (ATA register sets and
state machine), and QEMU backend state (block_backend pointers, aio
state counters, locks, etc etc etc -- Things solely purposed for
interacting with the block module.)
I'd also like to make each device type plug into ATA or SATA bus slots
explicitly -- no more magic IDE devices.
It's like the 5-year itch I can't help but want to scratch. My name's on
this code and it's UGLY UGLY UGLY!
The biggest roadblock to me actually doing this is figuring out how it
would be even vaguely possible to migrate from ide-hd or ide-cd to the
newer models -- it might be pretty complex, but maybe I can figure
something out somehow...
Well, suggestions welcome.

I only saw the use in 051; (I should fix the output for non-PC too,
actually) and in this case it can just be dropped whenever we drop the
ide-drive definition.
I'll respin to hit the tests with a stiffer scrub-brush.
