sata_qstor has a different problem.
For IDENTIFY and other non-R/W commands, it behaves nicely
as a simple, dumb, PIO style interface.
For regular block I/O R/W commands, it uses full DMA with
the internal host queue, depth=1, *but* requires NIEN=1
during such commands.
It's on my near-term "to fix" list, along with migration to the new EH stuff.
Cheers
