I've been on holiday and am now tied up in other work until the start of May, at which point Jeff goes off and gets married so there may be some delay. 2.6.17-rc actually has 95% of the stuff needed to drop the PATA drivers in and I will try to do patches at least versus 2.6.17 final. The -rcs will depend upon available time and also what gets integrated that causes additional work (notably Tejun Ho's stuff will make much merge work, although its work I'm very glad to do as the improvements and hotplug support are all needed).
