Thanks for the feedback. Jeremy Lea also provided in private mail
quite a detailed example of why device wiring for the ATA* driver is
desirable.

Guess the answer for now is that people who can't live without
statically numbered drives continue to use the older IDE driver or mail
Soren diffs for adding device wiring support. :-)

Thanks again,
Sheldon.
