ACK 1-4 in this patchset, but dropping due to dropped patches in 
previous patchset.

I have the following concern with this patch (#3) however:

> -static void ata_dev_set_mode(struct ata_port *ap, struct ata_device *dev)
> +static int ata_dev_set_mode(struct ata_port *ap, struct ata_device *dev)

I think you drop too many ATA_FLAG_PORT_DISABLED tests in this patch, 
leading the code to potentially miss a previously-flagged PORT_DISABLED 
(perhaps by an LLDD).
