What about my patch [1] to eliminate this new trap in kconfig since we 
do not have to bother kconfig users with ATA_SFF at all?

Besides some orthoginal discussion whether this stuff should actually be 
called SFF I am not aware of any reactions to my patch from the ATA 
people.

I already sent this patch twice and I can update it to the latest tree 
if it's considered OK, but I'd like to get some ACK/NAK first.
