Mention ATAPI. We could insert an essay about libata and ide-scsi etc but
the failure case is someone enables it which is just fine so keep it
simple.

Should probably add USB drives here too, since they seem to be getting
more common:

I don't think we need to mention Fibre Channel here ... I'm not
convinced there are any FC CD-ROM drives in existence, and if there are,
they're sufficiently uncommon to not produce bug reports.
Also, should we perhaps add DVD drives here?

I'll update it with Matthews proposed text (which I think is the best)
and resubmit that (probably next week when I get the time to run that
patch around again)
