I can describe how this will look when libata is divorced from SCSI,
if you would like, too...

I was beginning to dispair you had given up that plan...

hehe, nope.  I promised Linus, and I plan to keep my promise :)

I know how to do it.  Internally things have been kept as separate as
possible from the SCSI layer.

Bart even hinted at possibly using libata-without-SCSI for future
/dev/hdX support.  It's certainly doable.

AAArgh! No, not again!

We've finally succeeded in convincing everyone that having '/dev/sdX'
instead of '/dev/hdX' was a neccessary step forward.
I think we're getting shot if we now tell them to reverse this _again_.
Can we at least have it optional?

Or are you talking about linux-3.X ?

Cheers,

Hannes
