That would be a question for the more knowledgeable (since I'm just
following instructions here), but since this is going through ide-cd
which 'inherits' from ide.h and cdrom.h, why on earth would a
userspace program need to issue raw ATA commands?  This is the very
thing drivers are there for - abstract away the hardware
implementation differences and present a consistent API.
