After a recent chat with Dave we agreed to try to finally kill off the legacy IDE code base. Set a two year grace period in which we try to move everyone over. There are a few pieces of hardware not supported by libata yet, but for many of them we aren't even sure if there are any users. For those that have users we have usually found a volunteer to add libata support. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Acked-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
