What do you mean by "overlooked"? If you're looking for the function defintion,
any sensible code indexing tool will point you to the right place.
And linux/ata.h already contains several c one liners/helpers. What is the
difference between the two new functions and the ones already present there?
Although the solution i propose is not adhering to some header/c file
conventions, it is still the best one considering the other possibilities:
a) code duplication: dumb idea, bloated kernel for no reason
b) evil Kconfig SELECT pulling in core libata just so that ide might be calling
a function or two.
