GNU diff, versus 2.4.21 release: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/patchkits/2.4/2.4.21-atascsi1.patch.bz2 BK repos: bk://kernel.bkbits.net/jgarzik/atascsi-2.[45] The 2.5 repo is a bit out of date WRT the latest scsi api, but the ata-scsi driver itself is 100% in sync with its 2.4 counterpart. (due to the large number of changes in 2.5 scsi, the 2.5 driver is a fork of the 2.4 driver) detailed changes: * add autogenerated docbook docs * add atapi (ifdef'd out, due to lack of err handling) * better ata probing, including better err handling during probe * more piix pci ids. bump up ich5 sata max speed to udma6. * beginnings of SYNCHRONIZE CACHE support for ATA drives * better SCSI emulation for ATA drives * cleanups, simplifications, minor bug fixes * a huge search-n-replace job, s/ata_host/ata_port/ A couple new host drivers coming next, along with atapi error handling...
