It certainly does work for me. However, my ATA devices are connected to
an aic94xx SAS controller. Although this uses libata, the ioctl path is
probably slightly different from the libata one. I assume you're using a
SATA controller? Unfortunately I have no ability to test on a SATA
controller, but I'd suggest looking at the ioctl and REQ_BLOCK_PC paths
in libata for clues.
