What impact does that on Linux and its growing popularity in arm
platforms? I had assumed that most arm platforms were long term users
of drivers/ide, but I have no facts to back that up.
libata already has several ARM drivers and does work on that platform in
general. A great many platforms are handled by the generic
pata_platform driver.
There are a handful of IDE drivers not yet ported over to libata, all
!x86 drivers; maybe there's an odd ARM platform or two in there, I
haven't checked recently.
If there's a problem or missing functionality, just speak up...
