    I'd love to try to poke holes in the libata PATA support, but sadly
    it doesn't look like any of my systems built-in ATA chipsets are
    supported yet. Has anyone started a rewrite of the PPC/PowerMac IDE
    driver? The current one is in "drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.c", and supports
    these chipsets:
    OHare ATA
    Heathrow ATA
    KeyLargo ATA-3
    KeyLargo ATA-4
    UniNorth ATA-6 (IE: Kauai)
    K2 ATA-6
    Shasta ATA-6

    I'd be willing to test drivers for the UniNorth ATA-6 and K2 ATA-6,
    as well as possibly the KeyLargo ATA-3/4, depending on what the old
    MDD G4 in my closet has. Sadly my libata-foo is insufficient for me
    to do anything useful (other than thoroughly testing my backup-
    restoration procedure, maybe :-D).

    Cheers,
