(Alert people will have noticed : that Sorens new ata driver does this :-) As does CAM :-) Soren's driver has been fairly easy, so far, to port to the "laptop" environment where things come and go. I've been modifying it to grok the ATA Flash cards, and so far it has been very easy to change. I'm to the detecting the hardware stage (and it seems that the ata card I have isn't detected, but that is a hardware thing, I think). There are many areas where dynamic interrupts are hard to do due to the various masks that we have in the kernel. Some devices like to be in multiple masks.
