 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,
