It sounds like pata_via and pata_amd need a foo_save_initial_config() 
much like AHCI, during which they would fill ppriv->init_gtm rather than 
ap->init_gtm.  Thoughts?  Both drivers are calling ata_acpi_cbl() 
themselves, permitting the possibility of ppriv->init_gtm.

This avoids forcing everyone else to bear the memory cost in ata_port 
for just these two drivers.
