Make sure this works for libata as well, and then kill the rotational
check in there instead.

Yep.  libata-scsi.c would need to simulate that VPD page.

Also (to mkp or whoever does the work) -- note Linus's comment, and my provisional patch[1], about libata potentially wanting to detect NONROT by looking for "*SSD" from IDENTIFY DEVICE'S model string.
