[PATCH 1/2] libata: Use integer return value for atapi_command_packet_set

[Shan Hai]

The function returns type of ATAPI drives so it should return integer value.
The commit 4dce8ba94c7 (libata: Use 'bool' return value for ata_id_XXX) since
v2.6.39 changed the type of return value from int to bool, the change would
cause all of the ATAPI class drives to be treated as TYPE_TAPE and the
max_sectors of the drives to be set to 65535 because of the commit
f8d8e5799b7(libata: increase 128 KB / cmd limit for ATAPI tape drives), for the
function would return true for all ATAPI class drives and the TYPE_TAPE is
defined as 0x01.

[PATCH 2/2] libata: Set max sector to 65535 for Slimtype DVD A DS8A8SH drive

[Shan Hai]

The Slimtype DVD A  DS8A8SH drive locks up when max sector is smaller than
65535, and the blow backtrace is observed on locking up:

INFO: task flush-8:32:1130 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

 The above trace was triggered by
   "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=32768"

 It was previously working by accident, since another bug introduced
 by 4dce8ba94c7 (libata: Use 'bool' return value for ata_id_XXX) caused
 all drives to use maxsect=65535.
