I have this simple patch in my local tree:

--- a/sys/cam/ata/ata_xpt.c
+++ b/sys/cam/ata/ata_xpt.c
@@ -1341,6 +1341,20 @@ ata_action(union ccb *start_ccb)
 		(*(sim->sim_action))(sim, start_ccb);
 		break;
 	}
+	case XPT_SCSI_IO:
+	{
+		struct cam_ed *device;
+
+		device = start_ccb->ccb_h.path->device;
+		if (device->protocol == PROTO_ATA) {
+			xpt_print(start_ccb->ccb_h.path,
+			    "XPT_SCSI_IO command for device with PROTO_ATA\n");
+			start_ccb->ccb_h.status = CAM_REQ_INVALID;
+			xpt_done(start_ccb);
+			return;
+		}
+		/* FALLTHROUGH */
+	}
 	default:
 		xpt_action_default(start_ccb);
 		break;

Here's what it does:
$ drecord -scanbus

And in dmesg:
kernel: (pass0:ahcich0:0:0:0): XPT_SCSI_IO command for device with PROTO_ATA
last message repeated 2 times
kernel: (pass1:ahcich1:0:0:0): XPT_SCSI_IO command for device with PROTO_ATA

I remember that this patch is not perfect, but it works for my simple desktop
setup.  No bad side-effects from it either.
