Basically I need to get off my butt and send Alan and Bero some updates...
Latest patches against mainline (2.4.22-bkXX and 2.6.0-testX-bkXX) are always posted at ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/ and the latest Fedora Core (what used to be Red Hat Linux) supports it out of the box as well.
It does take a bit of potentially non-trivial hand merging to patch successfully into -ac tree... :(
