The bay driver is currently useless, BUT it should handle a lot of stuff
libata won't, such as bay batteries, bay floppies, and anything else in
a bay that is not a hard disk.

The fact that the driver currently looks only after disks is just a bug.
It should, in fact, bind to any ejectable device not already handled by
a different driver.
