Hello Jeff, all, Another attempt at hotswap support to libata... this would be attempt #3. Lots of improvements... a cleaner API, clean straightforward code which is easy to customize (or generalize, when the desire to support ATA hotswap comes along), and a new feature; no longer kernel panics on any action! Some testing on x86 UP, minimal on SMP. Please test, send questions, suggestions, and apply if you like it. Patches apply cleanly to 2.6.14-rc1. I've got some hardware so if you discover problems I can probably reproduce them.
At a really quick glance, looks positive to me. Thanks for working on this! Once this is merged, I'm sure users will thank you too: people will be able to [literally] yank their disks, if they are failing, without bringing down the system.
I'm away this weekend, so won't be able to give it an in-depth look until next week.
