USB disks are also called sdX. As are firewire. So, add the IDE, SCSI,
USB and firewire disks and 26 can (and will) happen shortly. Of course,
prior to this change SCSI, USB and firewire were already sdX. So it is
only the few IDE disks that have been added to the total.

I like the change. As long as the BUS id ("scsi", "usbdisk", etc)
remains so I can tell which is which in udev.
