With the exception of HPA and serialize support its now pretty
close to a straight replacement for drivers/ide on x86 systems (and
boxes using PCI devices only). There is other stuff that wants
improving still like error recovery on CRC, but its getting close.
Please remember that functionality equivalence, and much cleaner
code doesn't mean less bugs yet, there is a *lot* of testing and
hammering on the code needed before it is production ready for
switching.
From looking at your status file, I can't tell if you've implemented
the PowerMac IDE support yet (Based on your email's mention of x86-
only, I'm guessing not). If/when you do get that support done, I'd
be more than happy to test it for you on my PPC boxen. Overall this
work looks very nice, thanks!

make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the
other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious
deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.
