There is:
	http://www.ambrisko.com/doug/ata/ata_stable_sata_7.patch
for 4.10.  That deals with Intel and Promise SATA stuff and 
ata-raid fixes/enhancements.  It deals with legacy and enhanced modes
for Intel SATA.

A bunch of people have installed it and are using this.  A bunch of 
our customers use it via our appliance.
