SATA feature list available

SATA feature list available

[Jeff Garzik]

For people such as marketing types working on a distro, or users just 
looking for quick answers, I've created a feature list for libata:

Let me know if there is anything missing.  This is just a quick list, 
details can be found on other pages at that site.

IDE isn't really supported yet. EIDE/ATA is mostly.
PCI IDE legacy/native - yes but we don't handle mixed

"Full support for initializing PATA device, controller timings" -
Nowhere near until the indpendent timing stuff is merged

Under not supported might be worth adding HPA, simplex DMA, legacy ISA
devices.


Controllers: -ac patch now has (not all tested or by any means ready for
the mainstream!)

ALi (no MWDMA yet)
AMD
ATIIXP
CS5520 (no VDMA)
CS5530
CS5535
CS5536
EFAR
HPT343/363
HPT36x
HPT37x
HPT3x2N
IT8172
IT821X
MPIIX
early PIIX
OPTI
PIIX/ICH/ESB etc
RZ1000 workarounds
SC1200
SIS (no MWDMA on some versions)
Serverworks OSB4/CSB5/CSB6
SL82C105
Triflex
VIA

Big glaring holes in the PC world

CMD64x
ARTOP
Earlier Promise

No. I'd actually expect libata to handle that internally as its drive
level, but I'm not sure it does. Added to the 'to investigate' list.
