Just got sata_mv working under the new EH, on my 6041.
It probes and talks to disks just fine (chip doesn't support ATAPI),

The 'mv-eh' branch of

mv-eh
It's great to see this driver getting some more love. On a 6041 I'm
seeing very bad behaviour when encountering errors using the 2.6.19
driver. If a disk gets the fits, the port dies and 500000 interrupts/s
gets fired until the server gets rebooted. Good thing it only pegs one
of four available cpu cores.. I hope the new EH is more robust in this
regard ;-)
So, does this patch work for you? :) It's against 2.6.21-rc1 IIRC.
Ramblings aside; I see there is a mv-ncq head in libata-dev.git, do you
have it working? Is there a timeframe for NCQ support?
No and no. All this Marvell work is spare-time work for me, nobody's
paying for it, so who knows. I'll have it working eventually, if
someone else doesn't beat me to it.
