For ATA, there are two levels of mechanism available to turn irq on/off.
- device level: nIEN bit in the control register. This masks INTRQ from the device.
- host adapter level: some controller can mask out per-port irq from the host adapter.

Currently various parts of libata deal with irq on/off.
  ex. tf_load() can alter the nIEN bit.
  ex. irq_on() also alters the device level nIEN bit.
  ex. freeze()/thaw() deal with the host adapter irq mask.

It seems these irq on/off codes could be better structured.
Patches against libata-dev tree for your review/advice, thanks.

1/10: remove irq_on from ata_bus_reset() and ata_std_postreset()
2/10: add ->irq_off() for symmetry
3/10: implement ->irq_off() in LLDDs
4/10: use irq_off from bmdma_freeze()
5/10: use freeze()/thaw() for polling
6/10: add freeze()/thaw() to old EH LLDDs
7/10: pdc_freeze() semantic change
8/10: remove writing of tf->ctl from ata_tf_load()
9/10: integrate freeze()/thaw() with irq_on/off.
10/10: integrate freeze/thaw with irq_on/off in LLDDs
