I guess that it could be done entirely in libata if the bus structure is exported, but that does then limit it to ata - the code would need to be duplicated if anyone wants to bind scsi devices. I've no real preference, but this was the implementation suggested when I last posted this stuff back in 2005 or so. -- 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
