The warnings are way off track, because

1. /dev/hd* means ide-cd which has never had the incriminated bugs,
no matter if badly designed or not

2. you can't tell from looking at /dev/sg* or the b,t,l if the device
node is operated by the ide-scsi or sg drivers. Both use the unified
/dev/sg* namespace.

In fact, it makes sense to suppress the warning for /dev/hd* and ATA:
which are known good.
