Forrest,
BTW, if you are looking for useful libata projects, it would really be
nice to resurrect Randy Dunlap's SATA ACPI patches, update those for the
current libata-dev.git#upstream, and get those in.
libata needs to execute the SATA taskfiles passed to us from ACPI BIOS
tables, in order to properly set up the hard drive in a way the user
expects (hard drive password, acoustic settings, etc.). There should be
a module option that allows the user to skip this step, and preserve
current behavior.
Also, a feature Alan requests on occasion: Call the ATA "set max"
command to fully address the hard drive, including HPA. The Linux
standard is to export the raw hardware directly, making 100% of the
hardware capability available to the user (and, in this case,
Linux-based BIOS and recovery tools).
Jeff
