So pata_macio is starting to look good, it even suspends and resumes on a couple of test laptops, now is time to sort out the last piece of the puzzle, which is the hotplug media-bay. The old code use to call directly into drivers/ide ide_port_scan() etc... from within the mediabay driver. Pretty filthy. I'm changing that to something that's even simpler: the macio_driver gets a new callback for plug/unplug events from the bay, so it will be easy to keep the old driver do whatever drivers/ide cruft it wants locally and do something different in libata. Now, for libata, I haven't totally figured out what to do though. It seems like when the state "changes", I can do something like ahci and call ata_ehi_hotplugged() followed by something like ata_port_freeze() to kick the EH... at least that's my rough understanding. But I don't quite get how to inform libata that the part has or has not something plugged in it. I thought about playing with the probe_mask but it looks like ata_eh_link_autopsy() will reset that since I'm PATA, not SATA and thus have no sata_scr_read()... Any suggestion here ?
