The standard policy, in place since you began, has been to push core
stuff into #upstream, and the driver side into #pata-drivers.
Jeff, I've no problem with putting it in upstream but all this talk of
"standard policy" is crap. Or at least "standard policy" is a concept
existing only in Jeff's brain and not documented clearly externally in
this case...
The pata-drivers branch has never received any libata*.[ch] changes in
its entire lifetime, and you've no doubt noticed libata*.[ch] PATA work
appearing in the upstream kernel, even when pata_*.c continues to not
exist in the upstream kernel. Core stuff has always been split up;
maybe I just didn't say that explicitly. Its pretty self-evident by
looking at public commits, though.
