Now that I have nailed down the corruption problem, I can attend to
this... Fun stuff:
* port multiplier support (like an ethernet hub, only dumber)
Great to see this here.
* Asynchronous notification -- finally userspace CD-ROM polling can go away!
Is this AHCI specific or could be used by some other SATA hosts?
Can be used by any controller that supports SNotification (or is able to
capture and parse the raw FIS's).
And FWIW, Tejun's PMP work also uses a few bits of same async-notify stuff.
I agree with your review items, and will look at those if others don't
beat me to it.
