<para>
Thanks to Alan Cox for pointing out similarities
between SATA and SCSI, and in general for motivation to hack on
libata.
libATA is a library used inside the Linux kernel to support ATA host
controllers and devices. libATA provides an ATA driver API, class
transports for ATA and ATAPI devices, and SCSI&lt;-&gt;ATA translation
for ATA devices according to the T10 SAT specification.
</para>
<para>
libata's device detection
method, ata_pio_devchk, and in general all the early probing was
based on extensive study of Hale Landis's probe/reset code in his
ATADRVR driver (www.ata-atapi.com).
This Guide documents the libATA driver API, library functions, library
internals, and a couple sample ATA low-level drivers.

struct ata_port_operations is defined for every low-level libata

interfaces with the ATA and SCSI layers.

FIS-based drivers will hook into the system with ->qc_prep() and
->qc_issue() high-level hooks. Hardware which behaves in a manner
similar to PCI IDE hardware may utilize several generic helpers,
defining at a bare minimum the bus I/O addresses of the ATA shadow
register blocks.
