Is it enough to re-word the old entry about libata as follows:

  <!-- FATE 301746 and bug 305095 -->
  <sect3 id="libata" status="2007-09-14">
   <title>libata for IDE Devices</title>

   <para>
   libata uses <filename>/dev/sda</filename> for the first harddisk instead of
   <filename>/dev/hda</filename>.  Disks with more than 15 partitions are not
   handled right now.
   To use the old scheme, boot with the following kernel parameter:</para>

   <screen
>hwprobe=-modules.pata</screen>
  </sect3>

  <para>Then you will be able to see partitions > 15 again and can access them
  for installation.</para>
 </sect2>
