As Jeff said, libata translates some of the HDIO_TASK* functions
into SCSI passthru commands, which then get translated back
into ATA commands at the time of issue to the device.
Once passthru makes it out into the wild (Linus kernels),
I'll update hdparm to have it use SCSI passthru instead
when available/appropriate.
There will have to be about a year or so of full overlap
(hdparm, smartmontools, and kernel), to give distros time
to update/release with all of the affected components.
After that, I imagine Jeff may want to remove the HDIO_TASK*
calls again.
Cheers
