I've added an item about this to the proposal page some days ago. It's
the same here, actually. Sometimes it needs the "ata" bus manager,
sometimes it doesn't.
The biggest downside of the ata bus manager is the missing support for
ATAPI at this point (besides the noticeably longer boot time); DMA
would be nice, too, of course :-)
