"In DMA modes the 32bit I/O feature and multi-sector mode are not used. For the moment libata also only supports 32bit PIO on some controllers and for those it si handled automatically. Over time it may well gain 32bit support for more, but again the goal is it will be entirely automatically done if so." - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
