Just to give a little bit more information about the previously attached
code, it is merely a module that does two things: (a) demonstrates
proper [and sometimes faster-than-current-linus] ATA bus probing, and
(b) demonstrates generic registration and initialization of ATA devices
and channels. All other tasks can be left to "personality" (a.k.a.
class) drivers, such as 'disk', 'cdrom', 'floppy', ... types.
