host protected area question

[Net Llama!]

Anyone here have any SATA or SCSI disks which have/had a host protected 
area (HPA) on them?

I've run into an annoying problem at work, and after grepping through 
the 2.6.x kernel source, it looks like only IDE drives under linux will 
have their HPA respected.  Specifically, ide-disk.c has a function 
idedisk_check_hpa, however there doesn't seem to be anything similar to 
that for SCSI/SATA drives.

So, if you've got a SCSI or SATA drive that has/had an HPA that Linux 
recognized, please let me know what kind of controller you were using, 
and perhaps that will give me a clue as to where this functionality is 
buried in the kernel source.

thanks!
