    A very late comment but nevertheless... :-)
    Those functions are going to break on 32-bit platforms with extended 
physical address (well, that's starting with Pentiums which had 36-bit PAE :-) 
AND devices mapped beyond 4 GB (e.g. PowerPC 44x).  You should have used 
resource_size_t for the 'offset' parameter. As this most probably means that 
libata is broken on such platforms, I'm going to submit a patch...

WBR, Sergei
