A lot of cleanups, though the main functional changes are that the 
driver now uses the generic SATA phy probe/reset code.

Tested on a VIA-based MSI motherboard, running a 64-bit Athlon64 kernel.

I'm interested in hearing reports if libata's VIA SATA still fails for 
you...

IMPORTANT NOTE:  If your kernel's default configuration does not work 
for you, you may need one or more of the following kernel command line 
options:
	noapic
	iommu=off
	acpi=off

(I didn't need any of these options, but some users might)
