A general query to the list:

Has anyone been able to run the sata_via driver with a SATAPI device?

If so, what was needed to get it going?

In theory, nothing should be needed except to edit include/linux/libata.h:

#undef ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI         /* define to enable ATAPI support */

may also need this:
#undef ATAPI_ENABLE_DMADIR      /* enables ATAPI DMADIR bridge support*/


That configuration is not well tested, as SATAPI is very new.  Most SATA 
drivers except AHCI should work with SATAPI (AHCI needs a couple 
modifications first).
