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?

Ok, maybe not PMS ?

Can you imagine a bug report from someone that "has problem with PMS"?
:)

Would be fun though.  :)

I thought about using another acronym for port multiplier too.  But the
spec uses that acronym all over the place, PM, PMP (Port Multiplier
Portnumber), which reminds me of USB full/high speed fiasco.

Urghh... I thought we could use power for power management inside libata
but that might be a bad idea.  So, PMS?

Actually, pmup?

Sort of describes what it is at the same time. (Alot easier to figure
out what pmup is than what pms is (in a computer :))


Or PMUL? MUL is in common usage for the arithmetic multiply sense; wouldn't it make sense in the Port Multiplier sense? Would it get too confused with FPMUL? Too much like an arithmetic operator?
