Thanks
The bulk of the ATA knowledge comes thanks to long conversations with
Andre Hedrick (www.linux-ide.org).
Thanks to Alan Cox for pointing out similarities
between SATA and SCSI, and in general for motivation to hack on
libata.
libata's device detection
method, ata_pio_devchk, and in general all the early probing was
based on extensive study of Hale Landis's probe/reset code in his
ATADRVR driver (www.ata-atapi.com).
