They're SCSI as far as the device tree is concerned, so the glue callbacks have to be registered from the SCSI layer. The only implementation so far is for ACPI and only covers libata, but it could potentially also be used to tie bay devices to the ofw tree on openfirmware systems. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
