Same here.
My feeling is that we have a way too much complex IDE subsystem, and it doesn't
help when it comes to add SATA controlers support, software RAID support and the
like. When I look at *BSD, Linux and even Syllable IDE/SATA/softRaid source
code, their doesn't looks that complex and spread all over the source tree.

Maybe I miss all the point there, but both Haiku and the current BeOS users
community needs SATA support, that's a life issue now I think...
