I'm not against looking into integrating the sata-mv driver for orion5x 
as a SoC; but I'll retain the IDE approach at least for the ED Mini 
where NOR Flash space might be scarce and disk DMA at bootloader stage 
isn't a must IMO.

Regarding egiga sharing between kirkwood and orion5x, I have recently 
submitted a set of patches to the list with a request for comments.
