Maybe they are 'stable' but when it comes to features they are behind hpt366
(i.e. they lack PCI PM), which is also much cleaner than your drivers, easier
to understand and much smaller..

That sounds like an ACK to Alan's patch, to me ;-)

A libata driver can be stable, yet not have all the features of drivers/ide.

That said, I do agree that libata drivers need to have the features found in the drivers/ide/ drivers.
