Jeff, Tejun, what "sff" in the file name actually means? Isn't it strange that the drivers lacking DMA support or not really compliant with SFF-8038i have to link with this file?

Maybe it should be libata-tf and libata-bmdma, but sff (sans bmdma)
and bmdma is acceptable, hopefully, right?

What's sff sans bmdma?

Supposed to be TF interface. IIRC, the SFF term was first from Alan although it's entirely possible that I misunderstood it and used it in the wrong way. Alan, can you please clear up the confusion?
