Having the distinction between sata and pata is also nice tho considering many modern machines mix the two and use the P part for ATAPI, CF kind of stuff. It's all just masks anyway, we can easily do both. > As an aside, it would be nice to get the EH in shape where it can pause > all ports, so we can finally allow userspace to submit SET FEATURES - > XFER MODE and have it handled cleanly and properly. Aye aye sir, bumping up in the to-do list. BTW, I'm currently on airplane and won't be back home in about ten days. PMP patchset is regenerated but it has some problem integrating with the AN support and I need my gears to iron it out, so PMP patches will have to wait a bit more. FWIW, openSUSE 10.3 defaults to libata drivers and contains the PMP patches. It already received quite a bit of testing going through two betas, so I don't think the PMP patches would introduce too many serious regressions for non-PMP users.
