Subject: Question regarding FUA state

What is the current state of fua ?

While peeking over older (mainly 2007ish) threads, there was some 
discussion about it - whenever it should or shouldn't be enabled by 
default, automatic blacklisting for certain controllers (some SiI 3xxx, 
others ...).

Current state is "disabled by default", but simple libata module 
parameter can enable it. How safe is that these days, and if enabled, 
will problematic chipsets be blacklisted automtically ? (I didn't find 
anything in the sources suggesting it happens, but I didn't look too 
thoroughly either).

How do the following chipsets handle it:

- ICH8R and newer ones
- ATI's SB700/SB800 ones
- JMB36x
- which (if any) SiI chipsets are ok
