At the moment unless anyone gets upset I expect to obsolete the CMD640 but nothing else PCI. Can't comment on non x86 drivers and that may be up to port maintainers, and in part to polishing the core code to handle it better. Some vendors are trialling a libata switch in their upcoming distributions and the only barrier I expect to need some quick fixing is the HPA support.
