This still lives in the 'sii-m15w' branch of libata-dev.git, but if we throw too many _classes_ of changes into the same big lump, then it becomes much more difficult to discern which changes caused which failures. Since sata_sil has seen several changes, and since the sii-m15w problems are so difficult to diagnose properly, its easier to separate that out. Jeff
