Here is that reference, chances are there are more non vocal people using the interface than what you read on LKML.

Like everybody else, I wanted to chime in about my happiness with the IDE patch (I'm using it via the 2.4.18-pre3-mjc patch collection). Works beautifully on my laptop with an IBM Travelstar (DJSA-220) and an IDE-interface IBM microdrive (via a compactflash adapter).
But I also wanted to REALLY thank Andre and friends for the new TASKFILE ioctl. I'm doing a lot of low-level performance testing on the Microdrive and the old ioctl interface was completely inadequate. For instance, several of the CFA_* IDE commands were unusable from userspace before taskfile came along and now they're a snap...
Thanks again! --JRZ
