It has been about a decade, but my memory vaguely suggests that I tried that once before, and some LBA-capable drives still required the IDP before they would function normally.
I think anything ATA-4 or later was fine, though.
So..
if (ATA < 4 || !lba_capable)
issue IDP command
else
no need for IDP command
