Alan, Jeff, can you guys hold a bit with pata_acpi? I think it's better to implement helpers in libata-acpi and use them as necessary in sata_nv rather than using separate pata_acpi driver (we can definitely implement pata_acpi using the helpers). It will reduce general confusion and allow combining acpi cable detection with specialized device handling (e.g. ACPI cable detection combined with ADMA command operation). libata-acpi also needs quite some amount of other improvements. I'll post prototype code and things to discuss about later this week.
