[PATCH] ata_piix: implement force_pcs module parameter

[PATCH] ata_piix: implement force_pcs module parameter

[Tejun Heo]

This patch implements force_pcs module parameter for ata_piix.  If 1,
PCS is ignored, 2 honored.  As there seem to be quite a few ICHs w/
impaired PCS, this option will be useful for cases where the default
setting doesn't work.

Jeff, this patch is against libata-dev#usptream-fixes.  I think this
should go into 2.6.18 as it helps to work around possible regressions
and diagnose problem when this sort problem is met by innocent and
patch-unfriendly stable kernel users.
