This patch adds support for ADMA mode on NVIDIA nForce4 (CK804/MCP04) SATA
controllers to the sata_nv driver. Benefits of ADMA mode include:
- NCQ support
- Reduced CPU overhead (controller DMAs command information from memory
instead of them being pushed in by the CPU)
- Full 64-bit DMA support
ADMA mode is enabled by default in this version. To disable it, set the
module parameter adma_enabled=0.

There are some Linux supported platforms that simply cannot hit the low
I/O addresses used by ATA legacy mode PCI mappings. These platforms have
a window for PCI space that is fixed by the board logic and doesn't
include the neccessary locations.
Provide a config option so that such platforms faced with a controller
that they cannot support simply error it and punt

Don't write the same code twice, in two different functions, when they
both call the same initialization function, with the same private_data
pointer info.
Also, note a bug found with a FIXME.

* Replace needless 'n_ports > 2' check with a simple BUG_ON().
No existing driver ever wants more than 2 ports.
* Delete ATA_FLAG_NO_LEGACY check. No current driver uses
ata_pci_init_one(), that sets this flag.
* Move PCI_CLASS_PROG register read below pci_enable_device()
* Handle ata_device_add() failure

Non-uniform ports handling got broken while updating libata to handle
those in the same host. Only separate irq for the non-uniform
secondary port was implemented while all other fields (host flags,
transfer mode...) of the secondary port simply shared those of the
first.
For ata_piix combined mode, which ATM is the only user of non-uniform
ports, this causes the secondary port assume the wrong type. This can
cause PATA port to use SATA ops, which results in bogus check on PCS
and detection failure.
This patch adds ata_probe_ent->pinfo2 which points to optional
port_info for the secondary port. For the time being, this seems to
be the simplest solution. This workaround will be removed together
with ata_probe_ent itself after init model is updated to allow more
flexibility.
