SubjectIDE ioctl documentation & a new ioctl
Hi all; let me introduce myself:  I'm the guy that does IDE sustaining 
for Google.

I'm getting ready to sit down and document the IDE ioctls. Probably
Documentation/hdio.txt or something like that. Before I start though,
is anybody already doing this?

And while I'm on the subject, we're getting ready to write a new hdio
ioctl, an extension of HDIO_DRIVE_CMD. The intent here is to be
slightly more general-purpose than HDIO_DRIVE_CMD, with an eye to
supporting the full set of SMART functionality. Current plan is to have
the user pass a struct containing a pointer to the argument list, a
pointer to the data buffer, and a data buffer length value. Consider
this a design document; any comments and/or feature requests?
