PLEASE coordinate with the maintainer, when > touching code outside of drivers/acpi! ap->cbl is not a reliable way to tell SATA from PATA at the moment. We need to fix the real crashes too - right now no non PCI controller actually works at all (crash on boot) because of the ACPI crap. Please drop this patch as it will cause regressions on systems that do not need the extra methods. Instead merge the one that fixe the non PCI crashes and we might get further. > AFAICS this patch went in with zero appearance on LKML or another > related list, until submission.
