Both of the existing drivers would become the legacy driver, and a new one would be forked from the legacy code, which abstracts the physical interface altogether. Eventually, we're going to have IDE, ATAPI (I.E. mostly non-disk IDE devices), SCSI, SASI(maybe :-)), USB, FireWire, Bluetooth, etc. The number of interfaces is just going to grow and grow.
