Hey Jeff, all,

I was wondering why ATA_ENABLE_PATA and ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI are #undef'ed in 
include/linux/libata.h by default, since reverting them to #define's was the 
only way to make the ata-piix driver detect my CDROM on my new shiny ThinkPad 
(Intel Corp. 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller). I would assume that most 
people would want this. The drive worked out of the box on Ubuntu, so I 
assume that their vendor patch includes this anyway.

Is there a specific reason that these are disabled? Are there any bad 
consequences that I'm not aware of? Only reading the source really revealed 
that this was the way to get my CD-ROM to work.

Thanks,
Andreas
