Stefan Kalkowski 56a7d00a44 block: extend generic driver API (Ref #750)
* allow to handle a maximum of packets in parallel
  that fits free slots in the ack queue
* stop processing packets, when the driver can't handle
  more requests in parallel, and resume packet handling,
  when the driver is ready again

This directory contains a port of the MINDRVR PATA/SATA driver (See:
[http://ata-atapi.com].

The driver will probe the system's IDE bus and will use the first ATAPI device
present.


Usage
-----

Simply start the 'atapi_drv' in your Genode environment. The front-end
implemented by the driver is Genode's block interface (see:
'os/include/block_session').

Configuration example:

! <start name="atapi_drv">
!   <resource name="RAM" quantum="1M" />
!     <provides><service name="Block" /></provides>
! </start>

To use the driver as IDE block driver supporting both read and write
transactions, supply the XML attribute 'ata="yes"' to the config node of
'atapi_drv'.
