Hello, all.

This is the fourth take of implement ata_link patchset.  This patchset
contains 16 patches which can be categorized as follows.

#01-02: prep
#03-04: implement ata_link
#05-08: make libata deal with link instead of port
#09-11: misc link stuff (link init, reset_tries, ata_link_abort())
#12-16: add ap->pmp_link[] and update libata to deal with multiple
	links

ata_link abstracts PHY and sits between ata_port and ata_device.  The
following attributes are moved to ata_link from ata_port.

- active command state (active_tag, sactive)
- [hw_]sata_spd_limit
- eh_info and eh_context
- device array

With above and a few extra fields, a link can handle attached devices
including qc management and EH/hotplug.  This patchset makes libata
ready to handle PMP links.

Changes from the last take[L] are.

* updated to fit new #upstream
* SError failure handling updated and moved to misc-updates patchset
* ata_dev_configure() update is unnecessary now and dropped

This patchset is against

  libata-dev#upstream (4e1ae96828f6cee7b89ab8ca474c150fe211afd8)
  + [1] misc-updates patchset

Thanks.
