The problems seem to come at us from the 1:1 relationship between a

we think of as a phy as what libata thinks of as a link and thus keep us
at one host per actual physical device?
It's difficult to do that universally, but OTOH it would be quite
reasonable to do that for modern SATA controllers, leaving the older
master/slave controllers as one-host-per-port.
I've been wanting to do that for a while, even.
The main thing holding me back is not any technical issue, but desire to
avoid breakage caused by abrupt topology change.
