Well, it would probably feel more consistent. However, as far as I can
tell, opcodes 0x20 and above aren't used by any of the ULDs right now
and it would probably make sense to reserve that range (or part of it)
for the generic ide_special_rq() handler. Consequently, it is sufficient
to check for REQ_TYPE and op code, as I did.
