This breaks NOTES on these devices.  The purpose of NOTES is to test as
much as possible, not to provide notes.  It is also supposed to test
unusual cases.  Thus if these unusualy devices actually conflict at
compile time, then it is the usual ones that confict that should not
be build by NOTES, since the usual ones get adequate testing in GENERIC.

This doesn't change the comment about ATA_CAM, so it is now out of date as
well as misformatted.  It still says that the ata peripheral devices are
(only) deprecated by ATA_CAM, not mutually exclusive.

For an example of normal formatting, see the "Internet family" options
(except for their unsorting and shouting and misformatting of and in the
non-option "WARNING".

Another example of misformatting is in the SCHED* options.  These have
ugly ^L and ################################# delimiters, but are
otherwise better formatted than the "Internet family" options.
