I've not really been following what the issue actually is, so hopefully Darrick has. At the moment, we don't use any of libata for error handling in libsas. (In fact, there's a big issue with ATA error handling in libsas in general, since the sequencer abort task doesn't know what to do with a task that's at an ATA drive ... we need to detect that condition and then apply the SATL abort function, which depends on whether we're NCQ or not...SATA error handling was next on my list of things to look at).
