maybe you should post them on the lkml mailing list instead; that is much more active than the linux-ide list. Maybe CC linux-scsi as well since the sata stuff lives in drivers/scsi ...
I'd do that, but the driver source provides explicit instructions for patch submittal. I've heard nothing whatsoever from Mr. Garzik or anyone else on the linux-ide list. Furthermore, the first time I submitted the patch, I indeed (and apparently erroneously) submitted it to the linux-scsi list. Again, no response.
