The kernel has libata support for both SATA and PATA now, so many
systems are moving over, which means everything is treated as if it is
scsi based.  Since most interfaces are scsi command protocol based, that
isn't really that far fetched (only really PATA hard disks aren't scsi
commands, while PATA optical drives, tape drives, etc (anything using
ATAPI) is really scsi wrapped up in IDE commands).  USB storage,
firewire, fibrechannel, and many others are scsi command too using
various transport wrappers.  Just making things nice and consistent.
