Sorry, I just think it adds too much complexity to sata_sil itself. If the driver ever grows PIO-DMA support, it may make sense in that case, since you would need the complexity (sil context) anyway.

Seeing the patch, and comparing with the current driver, really weights in favor of the current more-simple driver. There are a lot of "early-rev hardware bug" things that we just don't bother with in Linux, and I think this is one of them.

Okay, I'll maintain it out-of-tree then.
