Some gigabytes have on-board SIMG5723s connected to JMB ahcis. These
are used to implement hardware raid. Unfortunately some firmware
revisions on these 5723s don't bring the link down when all the
downstream ports are unoccupied while not responding to reset protocol
which makes libata think that there's device attached to the port but
is not responding and retry. This results in painfully wrong boot
detection time for these ports when they're empty.
This patch quirks those boards such that ahci gives up after the
initial timeout. Combined with parallel probing, this gives quick
enough probing and also is safe because SIMG5723 will respond to the
first try if any of the downstream ports is occupied.

At least the nVidia MCP55 controller quite happily supports MSI.
This adds an option to use it. It is disabled by default.
As per feedback by Robert Hancock, it will honour the user
request as the kernel will not enable MSI where the controller
or the specific system configuration do not support it.

On certain configurations, HPA isn't or can't be unlocked during
probing but it somehow ends up unlocked afterwards. In the following
thread, the problem can be reliably reproduced after resuming from
STR. The BIOS turns on HPA during boot but forgets to do it during
resume.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/858310
This patch updates libata revalidation such that it considers native
n_sectors. If the device size has increased to match native
n_sectors, it's assumed that HPA has been unlocked involuntarily and
the device is recognized as the same one. This should be fairly safe
while nicely working around the problem.

No need to include any specific headers for at91sam9260 SoC.
* No harsh BUG_ON for get_clk in set_smc_timing function

This patch turns on parallel scanning for the ata_piix driver.
This driver is used on most netbooks (no AHCI for cheap storage it seems).
The scan is the dominating time factor in the kernel boot for these
devices; with this flag it gets cut in half for the device I used
for testing (eeepc).
Alan took a look at the driver source and concluded that it ought to be safe
to do for this driver. Alan has also checked with the hardware team.

When I thought it was finally defeated, it came back with vengeance.
The failure cases are ever more convoluted. Now there is a single
combination which fails boot probing - MCP5x + Intel SSD and there are
two hotplug failure reports on different flavors where softreset fails
to bring up the device.
Through the many bug reports after the switch to hardreset, the
following patterns emerged.
- Softreset during boot always works.
- Hardreset during boot sometimes fails to bring up the link on
certain comibnations and device signature acquisition is unreliable.
- Hardreset is often necessary after hotplug.
It looks like the old behavior of preferring softreset was somehow
pretty close to the working reset protocol although it could have lost
a device during phy error handling by issuing hardreset.
This patch implements nv_hardreset() which kicks in only for post-boot
(!LOADING) device probing resets. This should be able to work around
all known problem cases. This isn't perfect but given the various
hardreset quirks on these controllers, I think this is as good as it
can get.
Tested on mcp5x (swncq), nf3 and ck804 for all both boot, warm and
hot probing cases.
Kudos to all the bug reporters and their painful hours with these damn
controllers. ;-)

Community reported one SB600 SATA issue(BZ #9412), which led to 64 bit
DMA disablement for all SB600 revisions by driver maintainers with
commits c7a42156d9 and
4cde32fc4b.
But the root cause is ASUS M2A-VM system BIOS bug in old revisions
like 0901, while forcing into 32bit DMA happens to work as workaround.
Now it's time to withdraw 4cde32fc4b
so as to restore the SB600 SATA 64bit DMA capability.
This patch is also adding the workaround for M2A-VM old BIOS revisions,
but users are suggested to upgrade their system BIOS to the latest one

Handling of the trailing byte in ata_sff_data_xfer() is suboptimal bacause:
- it always initializes the padding buffer to 0 which is not really needed in
both the read and write cases;
- it has to use memcpy() to transfer a single byte from/to the padding buffer;
- it uses io{read|write}16() accessors which swap bytes on the big endian CPUs
and so have to additionally convert the data from/to the little endian format
instead of using io{read|write}16_rep() accessors which are not supposed to
change the byte ordering.

Because it detaches before the probe is complete.
One way to fix it would be to put an async_synchronize_full() before looking

The reported ATA version must be 7 or greater and the device must return
values defined as valid in the standard. Only then are the

This seems like a reasonable compromise to me considering that we have
