I'd say eventually we should as at them point in time it likely will
start to collect bit rot. Currently, ATA_CAM still has some bugs and
deficiencies like breaking ATAPI DMA for some controllers and generally
not supporting some others (see r233274). So at present it's IMO too
early to think about actually removing the !ATA_CAM bits from ata(4).
