Pretty cool stuff!

As soon as I finish SATA ATAPI (this week[end]), I'll take a look at 
this.  A quick review of the patches didn't turn up anything terribly 
objectionable, though :)

P.S.  You might want to CC linux-ide as well, on libata patches.

Excellent!  Thanks for the quick turnaround!

I've CCed the original patches to Linux-ide for comments.  Also, I've
re-sent patch 3 with a minor fix to boolean logic with bits.

Enjoy!

I would like to offer to test when you are ready.  Some older and new SATAPI 
drives, various chipsets (ICH{5,6}, TX4 on the way).  And a SATA analyzer 
for anything really odd.

Great!

It'll be posted here on linux-ide, so just keep an eye out.

Analysis of any portion of libata, with a SATA analyzer, would be much 
appreciated.
