Subject: Re: Regression - SATA disks behind USB ones on v4.8-rc1, breaking
 boot. [Re: Who reordered my disks (probably v4.8-rc1 problem)]

Since when it is expected that SATA disks will always be probed before
USB disks? We can't guarantee that even if we make sure all ata
drivers are loaded before usb-storage/uas. That's why we need
consistent namings (e.g. /dev/disk/by-id/*).
