Nothing "different" from the stock kernel; this is how all drivers are
developed. libata is the Serial ATA driver for Linux. Some chipsets --
ICH5 and VIA SATA notably -- look so much like PATA that it's easy to
let the existing drivers/ide driver use them. You won't get SATA
hotplug or similar SATA-only features, but as long as you can access
your SATA hard drive, who cares? :)
libata is in the "stock" 2.6 kernel, FWIW, too.
