Yes.  that's a common idea.

: Then two question.
: 1. May I commit this workaround?

I think that the naming would be ata_pccard to fit other things in the
kernel.

: 2. Are there any people working on ATA for making it fully
: moduler?

hehe.  I call mine ata_pccard :-)  I tried having full ata module, but
ran into some hairy build issues that I didn't want to take the time
to sort out with soren's rototil going on in the background.  Now that
that is done, I'll have to revisit.
