Without making any judgement about the relative quality of the drivers in their role as IDE drivers, the fact that ACPI hotplug works with libata and doesn't work with drivers/ide means that, rationally, distributions need to use the libata stack for the more common parts. There simply isn't the same level of integration between drivers/ide and the rest of the OS. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@...f.ucam.org -- 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/
