According to Jeff Garzik, the SATA drivers (libata) use the SCSI layer
for the time being, and will use a different major number in the
future. If and when that will happen, isn't yet known.
The IDE layer isn't deprecated, but just unsuitable for libata drivers.
It's perfectly useful for IDE drivers, though you could also create a
libata driver.
