It will lose that status early in the 2.6.26 timeframe.
Currently it does seem to work reasonably, with NCQ even,
but there are still errata for me to get round to fixing,
and the IRQ/EH/Reset code needs some work to ensure it can
always recover when something weird happens.
Port multiplier support is working now, and will be pushed
for 2.6.26 along with other fixes and stuff.
ATAPI support may yet follow before the summer.
Cheers
