This is the work-in-progress for supporting the newer Marvell PATA/SATA
chips like the 6145.
SATA support works, but PATA support is not implemented at all.
There is some temporary code that makes sure the PATA port is disabled,
if enabled.
This can be found in the 'mv-ahci' branch of
git://git.

Yes, if you agree with Jeff's original point.
But I don't, actually. Sure, on some machines+workloads, AIO is more
common than sync IO. But I expect that when we sum across all the

Make the bay driver send env information on bay events.
Upon any bay event, we will send the string "BAY_EVENT=%d" along with the
KOBJ_CHANGE, and report the event number. What the event number means will
be platform specific. Event 3 is always an eject request, but an insert
may be either

Nick and Hugh were just sparring over adding a couple (or perhaps 8)
flag bits. This would supply 64 new bits ... maybe that would keep

We love C99 names:
static struct kmem_cache_ops ext2_kmem_cache_ops = {
.get = ext2_get_inodes,

cleanup_workqueue_thread() and cwq_should_stop() are overcomplicated. Convert

In particular this patch removes the (unlikely) busy-wait loop from the exit
path, it was a temporary and ugly kludge (if not a b

phantom's ioctl is often (4000 times a sec or so) invoked, don't acquire BKL
