Subject: "ahci: drop intx manipulation on msi enable" breaks ULI M1575

breaks SATA support on a Freescale MPC8610 HPCD (PowerPC) reference
board. When I apply the patch, I get this result during boot:
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 irq_stat 0x00400040, connection status changed
irq 19
ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec)
ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)
ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec)
ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)
ata1: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps
ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310)
ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec)
ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)
ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310)
This board uses a ULI M1575 for SATA support.
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about SATA or PCI interrupts to
understand why you made the change or why it breaks on my board.
