Actually, m68k, m32r and h8300 currently can't use libata at all
for one reason or another, mostly missing support for dma-mapping.h

Microblaze and the upcoming S+Core also lack DMA support right
now, but that should get rectified soon.

You could argue that still all of these fall into the 'obscure'
category, of course. With just a little effort on the architecture
side, it should be possible to convert almost any non-PCI ATA
chip to use drivers/ata/pata_platform.c or pata_of_platform.c.
