[DOC] SATA status report updated

[Jeff Garzik]

Updated the SATA status report(s) found at

	http://linux-ata.org/

In particular, I created a matrix of drivers and features, to give 
people an idea of fine-grained driver status:

As always, comments, questions, and additions are welcome.

Jeff / Tejun,

Great work.  If the feedback about reversion issues continues to be as
minimal as it currently is it appears you appear to have rolled out a
great enhancement with minimal errors introduced.  I expect to be
using sata/e-sata much more extensively now that this new EH process
is in place.

Any practical experience about which PCI controllers and/or enclosures
would be best to get if I wanted to use e-Sata and the
hotplug/warmplug logic?

I have about 20 computers I would like to be able to plug e-Sata
drives into so I could move the drives around as needed.

The computers will be a mix of Linux (2.6.18+) and Windows 2K/XP/2003.

You mention that the Intel 31244 docs are likely available.  They are:

I primarily work on sil controllers and ICH7R piix/ahci because I have 
access to the hardware and docs.  So, those tend to get new features 
first and get a lot of testing.

If you're planning on using Port Multiplier, sil3124/32 would be the 
best bet ATM.
