This is something Linux has done (you can still use the direct ATA
and IDE subsystems if you want, but in most major distros I've seen
as of late, they use a SCSI-to-ATA conversion layer).

Thus: why haven't we moved the front-end to the ATA subsystem into
atapicam(4) then?  Is it just the amount of work involved, or are
there technical reasons?
