The EH work is in the process of being merged into libata-dev #upstream branch. The merge process has slowed down a bit lately due to bug fixes for 2.6.16 but it's still progressing pretty fast. I think/hope whole EH stuff can be merged during 2.6.17 process or post-2.6.17 #upstream. It shouldn't take too long. We're just two or three patchsets away (and all changes are living in my repository happily although they are a bit rough). So, please give it a few more weeks. We will be there.
