Hi Martin.

Is that on the Radar still? what would you say are the major issues holding
it back?

* Is it just the missing new ULD, Will we be using a new ULD?
* Is it the ata midlayer that would duplicate some of scsi-midlayer.
  (Not so much these days, lots of good code went into blk_rq_)
* Is it the distro's setup procedures changing yet again back to the
  hd vs sd times.

Thanks
