      [PATCH] libata - ATA is both ATA and CFA · 692785e7
      Alan Cox authored
      I think this is still needed with the new probe code (which btw seems to
      be missing docs in upstream ?).

      [PATCH] libata: Add ->set_mode hook for odd drivers · e35a9e01
      Alan Cox authored
      Some hardware doesn't want the usual mode setup logic running. This
      allows the hardware driver to replace it for special cases in the least
      invasive way possible.

      [PATCH] libata: BMDMA handling updates · 4e5ec5db
      Alan Cox authored
      This is the minimal patch set to enable the current code to be used with
      a controller following SFF (ie any PATA and early SATA controllers)
      safely without crashes if there is no BMDMA area or if BMDMA is not
      assigned by the BIOS for some reason.
      
      Simplex status is recorded but not acted upon in this change, this isn't
      a problem with the current drivers as none of them are for simplex
      hardware. A following diff will deal with that.
      
      The flags in the probe structure remain ->host_set_flags although Jeff
      asked me to rename them, simply because the rename would break the usual
      Linux rules that old code should break when there are changes. not
      compile and run and then blow up/eat your computer/etc. Renaming this
      later is a trivial exercise once a better name is chosen.
