Er, well, I thought it had been dead for some time ... we decided its
many bugs were virtually unfixable in 2.5.  Willem Riede
<osst@riede.org> had been trying to keep it working with chewing gum and
bailing wire for the onstream tape unit.

Realistically (and I hate myself for saying this) libata-pata does
provide a much better alternative for the ATAPI devices.  Is it just
time to recognise the inevitable and kill ide-scsi?
