I was reading over your libata driver yesterday. Certainly a lot cleaner than the cam stuff IMHO. Given the info made available via the Promise driver, I expect that I could get an initial libata host adaptor driver hacked together in short order. After all, the Intel one is just 400 lines. So unless you (or anyone else) have already started or would prefer to do the honors, I'll try to hack something together this evening,
