It not a hard problem. If you can assure that the WD7000 probe gets called
before wd.c gets called, it should be pretty easy to fudge.

Please everyone, be careful when talking about WD7000's. There are two of
them: the WD7000-ASC and the WD7000-FASST2. The previous one does not have
scatter-gather. I don't know if the roms from a FASST2 work on an ASC,
because noone has sent me any..
