Libata - Jeff Garzik & linux-ide@...r.kernel.org

drivers/ide is obsolete and on its way out.

drivers/ata replaced it as the old code couldn't really cope with things
like SATA NCQ or hotplug. The new stuff can which is probably handy in a
hypervisor.

See: Documentation/SubmittingPatches in your kernel tree

That should answer the rest. If not then keep a tag on things that should
have been in there but weren't and that can also get updated.
