This will also allow time for things like "udev" to perhaps think about an option to someday provide /dev/hd* symlinks for PATA devices when libata is used instead of IDE (?). That might be a possible migration path in the far future.
Unfortunately a symlink won't work because of compatibility issues. /dev/hd supports more partitions, and a different set of ioctls.
