PPC's 'opal' match pattern also matches block/sed-opal.c, where it looks
like the 'arch/powerpc' file pattern should be enough to match powerpc
opal code by itself. Remove the opal regex pattern from powerpc.

We thought of it first.

Can't you just rename your driver, Opal Storage Specification, so "oss",
that should be pretty unique?

... :)

I don't like this version, but I'll merge the one from Stewart which
drops the pattern and adds the paths for the existing drivers.

cheers

The library could easily be used for devices supporting the Opalite and Pyrite 
SSCs, not just the Opal SSC. With some effort, I suspect that Enterprise SSC
could also be supported.  So, a broader name might indeed be useful.

The full names of the specifications are:
TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Opal
TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Opalite
TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Pyrite
TCG Storage Security Subsystem Class: Enterprise
