Quoting Jeff Garzik [off-list ref]:

Hello Jeff,

With regards to libata being the default, making that an _option_ is 
feasible, but we will probably default to the IDE driver for quite some 
time.  There are issues of /dev/hda versus /dev/sda, keeping existing 
user setups working, etc.

once there is reasonable support to indeed use libata as default,
we could just wrap a pass through IDE driver around, which allocates the
major numbers for /dev/hd* and just feeds everything to libata. Or are the
semantics too different?

Regards,
Julien
