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.

Feel free to add them Mr. Maintainer. :)

Oh, I'm happy to wait until one of two scenarios occurs:

1) Bart annoys Alan sufficiently to motivate Alan to add feature X
2) Alan annoys Bart sufficiently to motivate Bart to add feature X

Personally, I think my two PATA co-maintainers are doing an excellent job of finding and killing bugs, and adding features, even if the mailing list traffic is contentious.

I'm happy as long as the users win in the end...
