>Description:
"iostat" does not show statistics for atapi cdrom devices.

I have noticed this problem since 5.x release.

When I load the "atapicam" kernel module the iostat output shows the statistics (MB/s) for "cd0".

I have used 3 atapi cdroms from different manufacturers (LG cdrom,Samsung combo drive, LiteON combo drive) all of them work fine except that iostat does'nt show statistics for the "acd" devices.

There is another thing - the 'burncd' utility fails during the "fixating" phase
of cd-burning but when the atapicam module is loaded the cd's are burned successfully. 

Are both these problems related to the "acd" driver?
