Hi,

I am currently working on the integration of an SSD FTL model with GEM5. I have 
been able to compile the model with GEM5. Now I want to redirect the read/write 
calls from GEM5 to my model. I have seen the raw disk image class and cow disk 
image class. I guess I need to use the raw disk image class. Here are my 
questions:

    1-    If I create a disk in the FS_CONFIG.py, does the current release 
allow 3 disks on the self.pc.southbridge?

    2-    When a write/read call to the new disk occurs from the gentoo linux 
system, how can I detect it is for the new disk in my raw disk image code to 
redirect it to the ssd model?

    3-    If I follow a different approach such as creating a new device which 
has ssd model as its lower layer, how do I register it as a disk device and do 
I have to write a new kernel driver for it in gentoo?

Hope to hear from you soon. I have read all the disk related mails in the past 
3 years before mailing here :)

Regards,
Hasan Ijaz
