There is only a single driver (sgi_ide) which hasn't been moved over to 
libata. But this is for an old Itanium-based server only, and even SGI 
didn't press us to have this ported.
(And we have disabled the IDE drivers since SLES11, where we still 
support Itanium.)
So they can be safely assumed defunct at this time.

I'm all for removing them.

Cheers,

Hannes
