   Gah, what in the world is that SFF I/O code?

Ah, I see. Can we finally stop abusing the SFF name? Or are we bound to copy every mistake that libata has made? :-/

Please suggest a better name. :)

[ I'm also not happy with the naming but couldn't think of a better one. ]

   Legacy perhaps?

As in ide-io-legacy.c. I can also suggest ide-io-std.c, ide-io-trad[itional].c...
