If you find a cleaner way we can commit it later. I was thinking of
resolving path to hardware one and then querying hardware directly but
it may conflict with OF. What do you think?
How much work would be needed to make ata.mod work on sparc64?
Which other drivers we would need to reasonably replace ofdisk (which
would still be available as fallback)? In dumps in addition to ide I see
protocols FP, ESP, SCSI, FAS, ISP, ULSA, SAS, SoC. ESP looks like
SBUS-only so it can be fallbacked to OF considering number of users. I
have no idea what FP,FAS, ISP, ULSA, SAS, SoC stand for and even if they
are real protocols or just some weird pathnames. As for SCSI we
definitely want it and already have scsi.mod but not the encapsulator of
SCSI commands
