I'm afraid it's just part of the usual standards confusion.  I think
what they were thinking is that no-one would use SATL with ATAPI ...
although I bet someone will ...

But this isn't a userspace problem.  By the time we present the device
to userspace, we already know what it is ... so you can go by device
type and only use ATA_12 for disk devices.

For kernel space, we never use the encapsulation commands anyway, we
always go by the transport.
