Hi Jeff,

Great summary.  Just a few nit-picks :)

1) Title is kind of misleading now that PATA is included.  Not too important,
but PATA will likely get better tested if users know off the bat that it is
(experimentally) supported.

2) I think "Not Supported" should list all the PCI IDE (PATA) controllers that
exist in the mainline kernel but not in libata (e.g. ALi, I think).  This would
make it easier for users to know whether they should bother with PATA support or
not.

Regards,
  Aric
