There's driver-api/libata.rst in the source tree but it's also horribly outdated.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. -- tejun
