Jeff,

PATCH 3/3:

Sometimes the device returns/needs extra data than expected.

Changes:
   - Modify __atapi_pio_bytes() to handle the case when device returns/needs extra data.
     - for read case, discard trailing data from the device
     - for write case, padding zero data to the device

For your review, thanks.

Albert
