I'd love to try to poke holes in the libata PATA support, but sadly  
it doesn't look like any of my systems built-in ATA chipsets are  
supported yet.  Has anyone started a rewrite of the PPC/PowerMac IDE  
driver?  The current one is in "drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.c", and supports  
these chipsets:
   OHare ATA
   Heathrow ATA
   KeyLargo ATA-3
   KeyLargo ATA-4
   UniNorth ATA-6 (IE: Kauai)
   K2 ATA-6
   Shasta ATA-6

I'd be willing to test drivers for the UniNorth ATA-6 and K2 ATA-6,  
as well as possibly the KeyLargo ATA-3/4, depending on what the old  
MDD G4 in my closet has.  Sadly my libata-foo is insufficient for me  
to do anything useful (other than thoroughly testing my backup- 
restoration procedure, maybe :-D).

Cheers,
