Archive-link:		Article, Thread


This is my current work-in-progress for comments on
ACPI methods for SATA (and PATA later on, unless a patch
from Shaohua Li on the mailing list handles PATA).

Quick status:

Working:
- find devices in namespace
- evaluate _SDD
- evaluate _GTF
- simulate writing taskfile to device

TODO:
- write taskfile to device in a generic, non-controller-specific way
- add more usage events for _SDD and _GTF (SATA) per
  ACPI 3.0 spec, section 9.9.3.3, page 288.
