Adding Sekhar and Kevin for DaVinci: At first sight, palm_bk3710 looks fairly straightforward (meaning someone has to do a few day's work) to convert into a libata driver. As this is on on-chip controller that is part of a dm644x and dm646x, it should also not be hard to test (as long as someone can find a hard drive to plug in). Arnd
