The bios_param call now passes a scsi_device and its capacity, rather than
a scsi_disk, it is a cleaner interface. Exporting interfaces or data
structures from sd to host drivers makes little sense.
Just delete the sd.h include, and then updating the bios_param function
should get rid of the scsi_disk or Disk reference.
Does Jeff's SATA/libata driver cover the Promise hardware?
