I'm running Gentoo with a 2.6.19 kernel, but I think the key bit is that
all my drives are running with libata (SATA HDs & PATA DVD-RW).  They
show up like SCSI devices, which appears to be the source of the sysfs
entries.  Maybe supporting both /proc/ide/<dev>/model and
/sys/block/<dev>/device/model is the way to go?
