    A ton of SATA work in the past few weeks, but not a lot terribly new in
    this update. The update is mainly to rediff against the latest 2.4 and
    2.6 kernels. Note that this does not include experimental patches.
    Notably absent are

    * lba48 (large transfer) requests
    * splitting up Promise driver into sata_promise (tx2/tx4) and sata_sx4
    (sx4) drivers.
    * adding better flush-cache / writeback caching support

    The above are all experimental patches I have locally.

    Finally, per user requests, I have started posting the associated
    changelog as well.

    Drivers for SATA-2 controllers have been in development, and should be
    making their appearance soon.
