My last question I promise ;)

If I'd like to take a look in the kernel code to see where the kernel
translates an offset
provided by sys_read into a LBA or CHS address, where should I go ?
..

Two places. drivers/ide/ide-disk.c :: __ide_do_rw_disk()
and drivers/ata/libata-core.c :: ata_build_rw_tf().

Cheers
