Yeah, I think we'll probably need to add rq->raw_data_len and I'd really
like to map longer drain area but I think the basics are there.  What's
needed is updating libata accordingly and testing it.  I'm currently
away from all my toys.  I'll implement the ATA part, test it and submit
the patch on Monday.

Thanks.
