Well, the ata_piix driver for one uses it, but only includes ata.h. But
that is the only one in the tree right now.

Since my driver for the sil3114 uses "legacy mode" it uses a lot of the
ata commands directly in PIO mode. These are defined in ata.h (Both in
u-boot and Linux)

Still, the kernel has both a ata.h and a libata.h, where libata.h
includes ata.h. And where ATA_SECT_SIZE, and the other defines i use,
actually is defined in ata.h albeit as 512 bytes :).

I have no problem with either solution. If its ok to add the defines to
libata.h instead i will do that?
