For 2.6.19 to move the libata drivers to drivers/ata
Add a subset of the new PATA drivers living in -mm to the base kernel

Is it planned for the pata_pdc2027x driver to be included in the
subset of upstream PATA drivers? It would be nice to have the driver
for the adapter hotplug on ppc64.

Thanks,
