What do you mean by "pulling the disk model out"?  If you want the
whole controller/cache/scheduler, this is not really possible;  the
model is not anything like "closed form" and is defined in terms of
the whole state machine.   If you just want layout and mechanics, you
can get that from the diskmodel library.  You can always configure a
setup with a 0-time controller/bus/etc if you don't want those
effects.  What exactly are you trying to do?
