I wanted to open a discussion on libata and PATA.
libata-dev now has two drivers that support PATA, pata_pdc2027x and
ata_piix, and the core is getting close (DMA blacklist in, C/H/S support
close).
What are the opinions on issues relating to making PATA libata support
available in the
A minor update since the last post. Recent changes:
* updated to 2.6.11-rc4, posted patch (see attached).
* turned on ATAPI by default. If you got an S/ATAPI DVD burner for
Christmas, you'll like this.

not yet been
* With ATA passthru (in libata-dev currently), libata supports SMART and
the HDIO_CMD/HDIO_TASK generalized ioctls. Should I care about
supporting other ioctls?
is there some other mechanism to en/disable write caching?

Do you have DMA change down sorted - CRC error, drop speed and/or switch
to PIO then later flip
