Hmm, why do we need to add new layers and loss of functionality

I'll quit the ATA/ATAPI development/maintenance if this goes in quickly.
There are alot of issues here that needs solutions. It will need a 
*serious* maintainer that handles all aspects of it, especially
dealing with error reports for one thing, technically it needs
to be brought to a state where it works on alot more HW that seems
to be the case for now, and the integration into the ATA driver
should be dealt with a bit differently.
