I don't think we'd be able to move libata handling to block softirq
and probably end up just doing it from the irq context. Anyways, as
long as you're gonna keep working on it, I have no objection to the
proposed changes. Do you have a refreshed version or is the current
version good for inclusion?

Thanks.
