| |
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.
This gets lesser-used features upstream where they can get the most testing, while defaulting them to off ensures that we won't perturb the known-working code.
This also will help me, in that I won't have to maintain a bunch of parallel codebases.
Jeff
