There have been reports in the past of libata core code size
being a problem in migration from deprecated IDE subsystem on
legacy PATA only systems, i.e.:

This patchset re-organizes libata core code to exclude SATA
specific code from being built for PATA only setups.

The end result is up to 17% (by 17246 bytes, from 101787 bytes to
84541 bytes) smaller libata core code size (as measured for m68k
arch using atari_defconfig) on affected setups.

I've tested this patchset using pata_falcon driver under ARAnyM
emulator.

Thanks a lot!

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
