I think it does. What the code does is identical to what drivers/ide does. Anyways, it doesn't really matter, I think we should drop this patch (3/3 only, that is). The reason why I implemented this was to get ATAPI ID data using 'hdparm -i' but as Mark Lord pointed out, 'hdparm -I' can do IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE if the kernel is fixed. I think that's the way to go.
