Waiting on one thing AFAICS:

    ability to drain/idle all ports +
    issue a command on one port +
    resume normal parallel port operation

SET FEATURES - XFER MODE is special in that it requires all sorts of additional controller handling and careful cross-port synchronization.

Absolutely.

Also note that I'm *not* advocating HDIO_SET_PIO_MODE (and kin) here,
but rather perhaps a sysfs option per-drive.  It is needed, especially for
custom/embedded systems, and I suppose we will get there eventually.  :)
