To clear any misunderstandings: the ATA stack handles both IDE and SATA
devices. The IDE driver is older code in Haiku, we have both in the source
tree because while the ATA driver was in progress, some machines worked with
the old driver only. If you didn't explicitly enable it in your builds, you
aren't using the IDE driver, but the ATA one.
