Hello, all.

Lately libata has been going through a lot of changes and even more
are around the corner. I've been working on error handling and
advanced SATA features for quite sometime now, and, finally, patches
have been finalized and submitted for review a few days ago.

2.6.18 is the target for mainline merge. As there is quite some time
between now and 2.6.18, I have made patches to update the current
stable kernel to support the new features so that they can receive
wider testing and interested people don't have to wait too long. I
intend to maintain these patches through 2.6.16 and 17 until the
mainline merge happens.

Added new features are

* New error handling
* IRQ driven PIO (from Albert Lee)
* SATA NCQ support
* Hotplug support
* Port Multiplier support

BTW, we often use PM to mean Power Management.
Could we find a different acronym for Port Multiplier support,
such as PMS or PX or PXS?
