Re: [PATCH] Remove libsas PCI dependencies

Realistically, even for parisc, I can't see anyone producing a non-PCI
SAS device (even though I'd like one).

A non-PCI device embedded on an SoC or system bus is highly -likely-, IMO.

SAS+SATA silicon (w/out firmware assist as with aic94xx) is the direction that Marvell and Broadcom have gone. I would say it's practically inevitable that someone will embed a SAS+SATA chip eventually.

This should become enum dma_data_direction if we're going to go the
generic route.

Updated.
