Is anybody (Andre?) working on a driver for the Promise PDC 20376 Serial
ATA / RAID controller?

Andre is not, and with his reasons I don't think anyone else will
either. There is a binary module available from promise's website, if
you are using an intel machine.

No. The SII is supported and the HPT with SATA bridges should work. Some
informal discussion has occurred with two other vendors who will be releasing
SATA products in time.
It is probably possible to reverse engineer the 20376 since I suspect it will
behave like the older devices but with the registers memory mapped.

As I suppose you already know, the 20375 driver acts like a scsi
driver. I ran it through objdump -d and got ~20000 instructions. I
doubt anyone would want to analyse that load, even if it were legal.

Its legal here but I suspect you would get further mapping the MMIO registers
and reading the contents then seeing which values make sense matched to which
normal IDE registers.
