[PATCH] libata: Integrate ACPI-based PATA/SATA hotplug

[Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>]

Modern laptops with hotswap bays still tend to utilise a PATA interface 
on a SATA bridge, generally with the host controller in some legacy 
emulation mode rather than AHCI. This means that the existing hotplug 
code in libata is unable to work. The ACPI specification states that 
these devices can send notifications when hotswapped, which avoids the 
need to obtain notification from the controller. This patch uses the 
existing libata-acpi code and simply registers a notification in order 
to trigger a rescan whenever the firmware signals an event.

I've tested this on the Dell I have here - the removal is a bit chatty 
(and it spends several seconds attempting to revalidate), but it 
destroys the device happily enough and handles reinsertion without 
complaining.
