Long term, we should work to replace the assert() in libata with 
standard kernel WARN_ON().

If someone wanted to handle that conversion, that would be useful.  Make 
sure to pay attention, the sense of each test must be reversed.

Correct.

I would rather just unconditionally use WARN_ON(), and eliminate assert().
