I believe this is completely the wrong thing to do. Adding a ton of changes to the existing (and stable) life expired drivers/ide driver rather than keeping new and risky stuff in the new libata code is bad. The existing code *works*, its been rock solid since the reset drain fix and it is the code everyone who is conservative relies on not to eat their data. We have somewhere to do new and cool stuff its libata. I don't see the point in risking destabilising a good solid driver. I can just about see justification for !X86 implementation of the PLL handling but that is about it.
