Read the code Tejun, I did exactly that. pata_acpi is a driver which uses
a nice clean set of helper methods I added to libata-acpi. pata_acpi
itself knows nothing about ACPI other than calling into libata-acpi.
Tejun is just repeating what I've been saying: you don't need a
separate driver, call out from sata_nv or whereever instead.
