Well, today I've spent some time in looking at the SiS driver and compared it with the driver that is in kernel 2.6.10. And keeping Jeff's comments about libata in mind (together with a printout of libata.h) helped a bit to understand the differences. So I will see if I can somehow get the important things from the SiS driver while using whatever libata provides already. Will take some time anyway since kernel hacking is not the main focus of my job. Anyway, I will try. I guess the main issue is to find the 0x182 specific details and merge them into the kernel driver.
