If you just config KERNEL as usual there should be no apparent changes, you'll get all chipset support code compiled in.
However there is now a way to only compile in code for chipsets needed on a pr vendor basis. ATA now has the following "device" entries:
atacore: ATA core functionality, always needed for any ATA setup
atacard: CARDBUS support
atacbus: PC98 cbus support
ataisa: ISA bus support
atapci: PCI bus support only generic chipset support.
ataahci: AHCI support, also pulled in by some vendor modules.
ataacard, ataacerlabs, ataadaptec, ataamd, ataati, atacenatek, atacypress, atacyrix, atahighpoint, ataintel, ataite, atajmicron, atamarvell, atamicron, atanational, atanetcell, atanvidia, atapromise, ataserverworks, atasiliconimage, atasis, atavia; Vendor support, ie atavia for VIA chipsets
atadisk: ATA disk driver
ataraid: ATA softraid driver
atapicd: ATAPI cd/dvd driver
atapifd: ATAPI floppy/flashdisk driver
atapist: ATAPI tape driver
atausb: ATA<>USB bridge
atapicam: ATA<>CAM bridge
This makes it possible to config a kernel with just VIA chipset support by having the following ATA lines in the kernel config file:
device atacore
device atapci
device atavia
And then you need the atadisk, atapicd etc lines in there just as usual.
If you use ATA as modules loaded at boot there is few changes except the rename of the "ata" module to "atacore", things looks just as usual.
However under atapci you now have a whole bunch of vendor specific drivers, that you can kldload individually depending on you needs. Drivers have the same names as used in the kernel config explained above.
After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.
This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.

Handle cases where dma function pointers may be NULL, and where
the max_iosize can't be derived from a DMA data structure. For
the latter, revert to the prior behaviour of using DFLTPHYS for
the max i/o size when there is no other data.

So if we have channel 0..3 devclass_get_maxunit is 4.
It's never been a problem as devclass_get_device() has

This avoids calling busdma in the request processing path which caused a traumatic performance degradation.
Allocation has be postponed to after we know how many devices we possible can have on portmulitpliers to save some space.
The problem is that the PM support is part of a much larger WIP here, but due to popular demand I decided to get some of it imported.
Also I forgot the mention:

Remember this is WIP, so test reports and (constructive) suggestions are welcome!
for a configurable number of seconds, spin the disk down. Spin it back
up on the next request.
Notice that the timeout is only armed by a request, so to spin down a
disk you may have to do:
atacontrol spindown ad10 5
dd if=/dev/ad10 of=/dev/null count=1
To disable spindown, set timeout to zero:
atacontrol spindown ad10 0
In order to debug any trouble caused, this code is somewhat noisy on the
console.
Enabling spindown on a disk containing / or /var/log/messages is not
going to do anything sensible.
Spinning a disk up and down all the time will wear it out, use sensibly.

set, announce BIO_DELETE capability and issue ATA_CFA_ERASE when we get one.
Once we issue more BIO_DELETE, this will improve lifetime, and
possibly write speed of Flash based devices which have usable flash
adaptation layers.
For now, about the only usage is the newfs(1) -E flag.

peoples code with irrelevant changes[1]:
Use bus_{read|write_*() instead of bus_space_{read|write}_*() for
purely stylistic reasons.
Due to compiler optimizations and inlining, this is for all practical
purposes without effect in the compiled code.

The HT1000 DMA engine seems to not always like 64K transfers and sometimes barfs data all over memory leading to instant chrash and burn.
