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), and hotplug actually has a chance of working. The 'mv-eh' branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git 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 ;-)
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?
