A libata driver would be nice and probably easiest to do as you don't have to pretend to be close to old style taskfile IDE for a PC. I am not convinced there is no case for a 'dumb' small CF driver, but if so the chipset code and the core code need to be separated as the other requests I see for this are different embedded boxes wanting to keep codesize down.
