That wasn't me and no I wouldn't.

There's driver-api/libata.rst in the source tree but it's also
horribly outdated.  If we want up-to-date hardware support
documentation, I think we'd have to move it into the source code and
generate it from there.  However, I'm not sure how useful it all
really is.  The wiki hasn't been updated for eons, most other
subsystems don't have the counterpart, and not much is really painful
because of that.

But, regardless of what we're gonna do in the long term, if someone is
interested in keeping it fresh, that is really great.  The other thing
is that libata development is pretty stale at this point, so maybe we
don't need a grand long term plan and just bringing the wiki
up-to-date is enough.

Thanks.
