Before I do so, I have two questions:
1.
Countering your nodisable comment, would it be valid to do:
libata.force=2:disable libata.force=2.02:nodisable
To disable all of port 2 except device 2?
2. One of my friends wondered if it would be worthwhile to add force
keywords for other HORKAGE bits, and if so, should the
ata_lflag/ata_link force bits also be presented?
There are only 3 HORKAGE bits presently available in libata.force:
ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ
ATA_HORKAGE_DUMP_ID
ATA_HORKAGE_ATAPI_DMADIR
And 3 ata_link flags:
ATA_LFLAG_NO_HRST
ATA_LFLAG_NO_SRST
ATA_LFLAG_RST_ONCE
