Updates to the Silicon Image and ServerWorks drivers.
News:
* will freeze current codebase as libata 1.0, without queueing support.
libata 2.x development has already begun, and will support queueing,
sata2, and will build upon the existing codebase.
* ServerWorks seems stable, will remove 'beta' label soon
Notes:
* Silicon Image support is still considered to be unstable.
drivers/ide's siimage.c is preferred.
* Silicon Image users with Seagate SATA, particularly if you know if you
have the "mod15write" bug, should make sure that the driver is properly
applying the errata fix.
