Good point, I'll be sure to submit an updated patch. I did mean to copy
linux-ide, the intention was actually to pass this libata enable patch
through Jeff after testing, but it slipped through.
In this specific patch, it'll do no harm at least since I very much
doubt we'll see a false positive. And even if, the consequences wont be
dire. But it does want the version check, of course.
