Linux 5.14 will be dropping the legacy IDE driver:
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-5.14-Legacy-IDE-Dropped
This is the old driver that identifies PATA disks as /dev/hdX, at least PATA disks
will still work with the libata driver (which most Linux systems do these days
anyway that identify disks as /dev/sdX).
Saves a whole 40k out of 3m lines of code :P
