I'm not applying patches that sync up the ATA layer with the IDE layer
in ways like this unless the change is in response to a user reported
bug.

We're way past the stage where we are making changes to the IDE
layer based purely upon visual inspection.  I want a real user
bug report to back most if not all changes.

These two layers will get out of sync, and you're going to have to
accept that.  Please concentrate your efforts on the ATA layer
if you want to make cleanups, simplifications, and fixes based
upon code audits.
