new sata_sis.c file

[Gary Poppitz]

Looks like SIS updated their sata_sis.c file but did not bother to  
update its revision level. Jeff, would you add this to the current dev  
build?

It needs a lot of work before that can happen.

It hardcodes things in the driver that need to be in the core instead, 
namely the dword alignment that fixes ATAPI issues across all SATA 
controllers.

It looks like they removed all the duplicate libata-scsi.c code that was 
in their previous submission, though, which is good.
