Hello, Brian.

The EH work is in the process of being merged into libata-dev
#upstream branch.  The merge process has slowed down a bit lately due
to bug fixes for 2.6.16 but it's still progressing pretty fast.  I
think/hope whole EH stuff can be merged during 2.6.17 process or
post-2.6.17 #upstream.  It shouldn't take too long.  We're just two or
three patchsets away (and all changes are living in my repository
happily although they are a bit rough).  So, please give it a few more
weeks.  We will be there.

Thanks.
