Howdy Folks,
=20
I'm trying to find out what the current/future support for SATA hotplug, NC=
Q, and Port Multiplier is. Specifically, I'm tied to intel's ICH9 SATA cont=
roller and pegged to implement the features if they aren't planned or avail=
able. That last part is up in the air, pending what I find out and how long=
 it'll take.

After poking around the mailing list, I found that Soren had mentioned that=
 he is working on NCQ and I can really only find references to hot plug in =
the context of RAID. Is hot plug generally supported for controllers that s=
upport it? From experience in another OS, port multiplier was not even on t=
he radar as nobody was asking for it, so I'm guessing that the level of int=
erest is just as low here.

Anyway, any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
