if you're going to add that libata-related parm to the kernel parms file, wouldn't it make sense for consistency to add the other available boot-time parms from libata-core.c as well? it seems counter-productive to document only a subset of them from the same source file.

p.s. as i think i've mentioned before, i'd prefer to see that entire kernel-parameters.txt file reorganized, where the basic boot time parms are at the top, followed by module specific parameters *after* that, in alphabetical order by module name. i think that would make far more sense.
