Folks,

Taking Mark Lord's (and others) criticism to heart, I'm going to merge the ATA passthru work upstream, once 2.6.14 is released.

Since there are still some reported problems that I haven't had time to track down, I'm going to -- like ATAPI -- introduce a module option that enables passthru. It will default to off.

Other features that follow a similar pattern -- 98% there but needs a few final tweaks -- will be treated in the same way.


can you get a patch into -mm that default-on's them? That way the brave
of heart get it automatic while those who play safe get them
default-off. Expands your testingbase as well ;)
