I just pulled the "pata-drivers" branch of libata-dev.git into the
"upstream" branch, which means that Alan's libata PATA driver collection
is now queued for 2.6.19.

Testing-wise, these PATA drivers have been Andrew Morton's -mm tree for
many months. Community-wise, no one posted objections to the PATA
driver merge plan, when Alan posted it on LKML and linux-ide.

Does this include the patch to support the PATA port on the promise
controllers (described here
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=176249 ) ?

Unfortunately not. This patch still lives in -mm (and branch promise-sata-pata).

Hopefully this can be merged once the init code is cleaned up some more.
