Aik... We can do s/sff/tf/ and leave bmdma alone to avoid even more

tf. Sorry about the mess.
This renaming was discussed at the time on lkml and linux-ide, the
patches and git pushes were CC'd, and I do not recall these complaints
being raised at the time.
At this point, it's too ingrained in libata. Another rename would IMO
just cause more needless churn.

I heartily agree.
Besides, we all seem to understand that -sff means the register level
programming interface for ATA, with and without the old style bmdma.
As opposed to some funky modern host queue style of interface.
It's as good a split as any.
cheers
