In order to keep compatibility with existing libata users after libata
becomes a block driver, the ATA->SCSI translation will live on as a
completely separate, independent, optional kernel module.

If we are really lucky we can use it as a library for some of the other
drivers that do some amount of ATA->SCSI translation, or ide-scsi...
