Strictly speaking libata is not a separate subsystem (it still uses SCSI
subsystem) and "ATA subsystem" may be misleading, since we now have:

* "ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support" menu for drivers/ide

* "Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers" menu for libata

What about replacing "exists inside" into "uses" and adding info about
the new menu instead?

Thanks,
Bart
