Please provide more information about the JMicron controller.

Things that are important:

* What is the policy of the hardware manufactor 
  for supporting his hardware in a true free[1] software environment?

* Is there a GPL or another libre drive available?
 - Do you know the name of the driver?
   - What is the name of the driver?

* Where are the hardware specifications?
 - Are chipset datasheets about it available?
