[GIT PULL] libata changes for v4.10-rc1

[GIT PULL] libata changes for v4.10-rc1

[Tejun Heo]

Hello, Linus.

* Adam added opt-in ATA command priority support.

* There are machines which hide multiple nvme devices behind an ahci
  BAR.  Dan Williams proposed a solution to force-switch the mode but
  deemed too hackishd.  People are gonna discuss the proper way to
  handle the situation in nvme standard meetings.  For now, detect and
  warn about the situation.

* Low level driver specific changes.

Thanks.

I wish that was the case.  We've pretty much agreed that we'll want
to implement it as a virtual PCIe root bridge, similar to Intels other
"innovation" VMD that we work around that way.  But Intel management
has apparently decided that they don't want to spend more cycles on
this now that Lenovo has an optional BIOS that doesn't force this
broken mode anymore, and no one outside of Intel has enough information
to implement something like this.

So for now I guess this warning is it, until Intel reconsideres and
spends resources on fixing up the damage their Chipset people caused.

Dang, ah well, this is it then.

Thanks for explaining the situation.

[GIT PULL UPDATED] libata changes for v4.10-rc1

[Tejun Heo]

Hello,

One more patch from Adam added.  It makes libata skip probing for NCQ
prio unless the feature is explicitly requested by the user.  This is
necessary because some controllers lock up after the optional feature
is probed.

* Adam added opt-in ATA command priority support.

* There are machines which hide multiple nvme devices behind an ahci
  BAR.  Dan Williams proposed a solution to force-switch the mode but
  deemed too hackishd.  People are gonna discuss the proper way to
  handle the situation in nvme standard meetings.  For now, detect and
  warn about the situation.

* Low level driver specific changes.
