What's left in libata-dev.git?

[Jeff Garzik]

This is a summary of items and issues that remain outstanding for 
libata.  Whenever a git branch is mentioned, it is referring to a branch 
at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git


Current push just sent to Linus: 
http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=119329974119307&w=2


Changes in 'upstream' branch pending for 2.6.24-rc, but not included in 
the above push:
     Tejun Heo (2):
	libata: relocate and fix post-command processing
	libata: track SLEEP state and issue SRST to wake it up


Active libata branches:
   ALL			Superset branch for -mm testing
   alpm			Link power management (2.6.24-rc hopefully)
   an			Async notify (2.6.24-rc hopefully)
   for-testing		Interesting-but-not-ready stuff
   master		Vanilla linux-2.6.git clone
   mv-ahci-pata		Marvell 6141 PATA support (incomplete)
   mv-ncq		sata_mv NCQ support (incomplete)
   new-eh		sata_qstore, sata_sx4 new-EH conversions
			(TEST ME! they have been in -mm for a while)
   pmask			proto_mask introduction
   sii-lbt		sata_sil large block transfer enablement
   upstream		pending for 2.6.24-rc
   upstream-linus	just pushed upstream for 2.6.24-rc


Patches and tasks in mbox queue, not yet in git:

1) Axboe: kill sg_last(), libata is last remaining user

2) Bart points out bugs in "Re: [git patches] libata update"

3) Tejun: libata: implement ata_wait_after_reset()

	^^^  Tejun, what case does this solve?  Still needed?

4) Alan: [PATCH] libata: Deal with ATA8-ACS proposed Trusted/Treacherous 
Computing features

5) Need a pass through bz.kernel.org


Please speak up if there is something missing.

	Jeff

FWIW, current contents of ALL meta-branch:

	upstream
	an
	alpm
	for-testing
	new-eh

i.e. that is what akpm will get on his next pull for -mm.

Not needed yet.  It will be necessary to support a weird device (CF 
bridged over SATA) but it's a nice clean up regardless (instead of 
quoting ATADVDR in every reset functions).  Any reason not to put it in?
