Hello, all. I'm about to post an updated version of PMP support. Well, as always, it took longer than I expected but it's complete now and looking good. It's composed of the following four patchsets. 1. misc-updates patchset : This patchset contains 12 patches which updates various stuff. A few are just improvements found during PMP work. Others are related to PMP support in indirect way. All patches in this patchset are independent. 2. pmp-link patchset : This patchset contains 16 patches which implement a new abstraction layer - ata_link - to represent the ATA link or PHY. PMP bascially adds a bunch of PHYs to the host and it is represented by multiple ata_links associated with a host. After this patchset, all parts are ready to deal with multiple links per host. 3. libata-pmp-prep patchset : This patchset contains 11 patches implementing features to be used by PMP support including qc_defer mechanism and link quirks. 4. libata-pmp: This patchset contains 11 patches implementing core PMP functionality and PMP support in sata_sil24 and ahci. One of the biggest changes from the last time is lack of hotplug-by-polling. hp-poll needs more work and is pushed back accordingly. AHCI PMP support is also added. Each patchset contains detailed description including list of changes from the last take. All in all, this patchset behaves much better EH wise compared to the previous take. SIMG 3726/4726 quirks are now properly handled and except for some corner cases for 4726 which I don't think there exists a solution, they always behave pretty good (oh well mines, at least). New SIMG 5744 also works well.
