Howdy,
This is part of patchset series described in [T].
This is the first take of libata-pmp-prep patchset. This patchset
contains 6 patches and implements various stuff needed for PMP.
Changes from the last take[L] are.
* s/pm/pmp/g
* link resume handling updated
This patchset is against
upstream (309bade002e9226781c2d7a015340d0089e399b5)
+ [1] hp-poll patchset, take #2
+ [2] libata-link patchset, take 2

Consider newly found class code while revalidating. PMP resetting
always results in valid class code and issuing PMP commands to
ATA/ATAPI device isn't very attractive. Add @new_class to
ata_dev_revalidate() and check class code for revalidation.

Make a number of functions from libata-core.c and libata-eh.c global
to libata (drivers/scsi/libata.h). These will be used by PMP.

Implement ap->nr_active_links (the number of links with active qcs),
ap->excl_link (pointer to link which can be used by ->qc_defer and is
cleared when a qc with ATA_QCFLAG_CLEAR_EXCL completes), and
ata_link_active().
These can be used by ->qc_defer() to implement proper command
exclusion. This set of helpers seem enough for both sil24 (ATAPI
exclusion needed) and cmd-switching PMP.

Add @is_cmd to ata_tf_to_fis(). This controls bit 7 of the second
byte which tells the device whether this H2D FIS is for a command or
not. This cleans up ahci a bit and will be used by PMP.

Controllers which support PMP have various restrictions on which
combinations of commands are allowed to what number of devices
concurrently. This patch implements ops->qc_defer() which determines
whether a qc can be issued at the moment or should be deferred.
If the function returns ATA_DEFER_LINK, the qc will be deferred until
a qc completes on the link. If ATA_DEFER_PORT, until a qc completes
on any link. The defer conditions are advisory and in general
ATA_DEFER_LINK can be considered as lower priority deferring than
ATA_DEFER_PORT.
ops->qc_defer() replaces fixed ata_scmd_need_defer(). For standard
NCQ/non-NCQ exclusion, ata_std_qc_defer() is implemented. ahci and
sata_sil24 are converted to use ata_std_qc_defer().
ops->qc_defer() is heavier than the original mechanism because full qc
is prepped before determining to defer it, but various information is
needed to determine defer conditinos and fully translating a qc is the
only way to supply such information in generic manner.
IMHO, this shouldn't cause any noticeable performance issues as
* for most cases deferring occurs rarely (except for NCQ-aware
cmd-switching PMP)
* translation itself isn't that expensive
* once deferred the command won't be repeated until another command
completes which usually is a very long time cpu-wise.

ACK patches 1-4.
For this patch (#5), I would much rather prefer to update ->qc_issue()
or ->qc_prep() to return a DEFER return value. That matches more
closely other APIs in Linux.
