This attitude -- on top of the API change itself -- is not really encouraging
for ISVs, you know :-)

The read test averaged 62603828 bytes/sec over a minute or so.
The write test is only 6931231 bytes/sec -- about 9 times less.
While dd is running, `systat 1 -vm' reports about 110 ata-interrupts (irq 25)
per second during the write test, and about 1000 during the read test.
Thanks for your help.
