This patchset adds m68k/Atari Falcon PATA support to libata.
Thanks for your series!
That leaves us with 4 to go ;-)
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GAYLE
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_BUDDHA
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MAC_IDE
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_Q40IDE
They should be easy to port to libata, one just needs to remember to
use ->qc_defer for ports that require serialization.
Note that using libata instead of the legacy IDE driver increases kernel size.
After enabling libata:
CONFIG_ATA=y
CONFIG_ATA_VERBOSE_ERROR=y
CONFIG_ATA_SFF=y
CONFIG_PATA_FALCON=y
an atari_defconfig kernel grew by:
add/remove: 775/0 grow/shrink: 753/41 up/down: 98999/-242 (98757)
After disabling CONFIG_IDE:
add/remove: 0/589 grow/shrink: 0/12 up/down: 0/-62835 (-62835)
So the net result is:
add/remove: 775/589 grow/shrink: 749/51 up/down: 98886/-62964 (35922)
SATA-specific code is not needed on legacy PATA systems so it should be
possible to reduce the size by adding new config option (i.e. SATA_HOST) and:
- covering SATA only code with CONFIG_SATA_HOST ifdefs
- making SATA_HOST to be selected by SATA host drivers in drivers/ata/KConfig
Disabling CONFIG_ATA_VERBOSE_ERROR saved 1380 bytes, which is less than the
value advertised by Kconfig (6KB).
If it is only ~1kB nowadays I would vote for making the error logging always
verbose and just removing CONFIG_ATA_VERBOSE_ERROR, Tejun?
