ata1 still cannot be disabled in 6.3-Release. Not tested in 7.0-RC1 yet.

It does not matter if adding hint.ata.1.disabled=1 in /boot/device.hints 
or setting this variable
at boot time, ata1 will still configured.

Is possible completely disable ata device? If so, then we can close this 
case.
If not, then I will provide a suggestion.
The reason to disable ATA is becasue if I use only SCSI or USB, there is 
not need to have ATA
module in kernel to take memory space,
