P.S. I encourage others to investigate making the libata SCSI simulator
an optional kernel module.
Long term, a preferred solution would be to use SCSI layer for ATAPI
devices, and a kernel block device for ATA devices.
I think that's the right method to take, though we probably still want
to emulate the scsi ioctls.
We'll want the ATA<->SCSI simulator in its entirety as an optional
module for compatibility. People have built applications assuming they
must use SCSI (more specifically, SAT) to probe and manipulate ATA devices.
