Liav A 4dc3617f3c Kernel/Storage: Move all ATA related code to a new subdirectory
Like what happened with the PCI and USB code, this feels like the right
thing to do because we can improve on the ATA capabilities and keep it
distinguished from the rest of the subsystem.

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
