It might be possible to plug into the CAM; I only briefly
glanced at it and it didn't appear appropriate. The ATA
layer definitely isn't as parts of ATA don't make sense
in this context (Read DMA, Read Multiple, eg) and AoE
devices don't conform to the simple hardware probe/attach
methodology (as I understand it).
I would love to be proved wrong. I'm always willing to
try a new approach if it's demonstrably better.
