I am trying convince someone to do it for me, since I'm working on new controller support ATM ;-)
It shouldn't be hard -- just a new function "ata_scsi_passthru_xlat" that translates the 04-262r<n>.pdf opcode into struct ata_taskfile. That's all that's needed for Step One.
John mentioned he might look at it... but why don't you guys (and everyone else interested) just work publicly on linux-ide? Share the knowledge and patches :)
