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... :(
