Hello Jeff, all,

Another attempt at hotswap support to libata... this would be attempt #3.

Lots of improvements... a cleaner API, clean straightforward code
which is easy to customize (or generalize, when the desire to support
ATA hotswap comes along), and a new feature; no longer kernel panics
on any action!

Some testing on x86 UP, minimal on SMP.  Please test, send questions,
suggestions, and apply if you like it.  Patches apply cleanly to
2.6.14-rc1.  I've got some hardware so if you discover problems I can
probably reproduce them.

At a really quick glance, looks positive to me. Thanks for working on this! Once this is merged, I'm sure users will thank you too: people will be able to [literally] yank their disks, if they are failing, without bringing down the system.

I'm away this weekend, so won't be able to give it an in-depth look until next week.

	Jeff
