With version 10.08, Genode provides a port of the low level ATA/ATPI driver

devices only and is implemented as a block-interface server (see Section
[Block device interface]). By default, the driver tries to take advantage of
[Block session interface]). By default, the driver tries to take advantage of
the device's DMA engine but it can also operate in PIO mode as a fall-back
solution.
