Yes, there definitely is.  As you can probably tell from the git history
and posted patches, libata is still under great flux.  There are three
major changes - EH improvements (under review), new init model, and
sysfs support - I wanna get in before hp_poll and pmp stuff.  So, can't
exactly tell when but it's in foreseeable future, sorry about repeated
delays.
