The pata-drivers branch has never received any libata*.[ch] changes in
its entire lifetime, and you've no doubt noticed libata*.[ch] PATA work
appearing in the upstream kernel, even when pata_*.c continues to not
exist in the upstream kernel. Core stuff has always been split up;
maybe I just didn't say that explicitly. Its pretty self-evident by
looking at public commits, though.
