While support for them varies between rock solid (VIA) and passable (HPT), I don't think its yet time to bump those people towards libata forcibly at all. About the only thing this would meaningfully obsolete would be ide/pci/siimage.c for SI3112 and some PCI identifiers from ide/pci/piix.c. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
