/*
- sata_mv TODO list:
-
- 1) Needs a full errata audit for all chipsets. I implemented most
- of the errata workarounds found in the Marvell vendor driver, but
- I distinctly remember a couple workarounds (one related to PCI-X)
- are still needed.
-
- 2) Improve/fix IRQ and error handling sequences.
-
- 3) ATAPI support (Marvell claims the 60xx/70xx chips can do it).
-
- 4) Think about TCQ support here, and for libata in general
- with controllers that suppport it via host-queuing hardware
- (a software-only implementation could be a nightmare).
-
- 5) Investigate problems with PCI Message Signalled Interrupts (MSI).
-
- 6) Cache frequently-accessed registers in mv_port_priv to reduce overhead.
-
- 7) Fix/reenable hot plug/unplug (should happen as a side-effect of (2) above).
-
- 8) Develop a low-power-consumption strategy, and implement it.
-
- 9) [Experiment, low priority] See if ATAPI can be supported using
- "unknown FIS" or "vendor-specific FIS" support, or something creative
- like that.
-
- 10) [Experiment, low priority] Investigate interrupt coalescing.
- Quite often, especially with PCI Message Signalled Interrupts (MSI),
- the overhead reduced by interrupt mitigation is quite often not
- worth the latency cost.
-
- 11) [Experiment, Marvell value added] Is it possible to use target
- mode to cross-connect two Linux boxes with Marvell cards? If so,
- creating LibATA target mode support would be very interesting.
-
- Target mode, for those without docs, is the ability to directly
- connect two SATA controllers.
