Done.

I just removed the host_flags parameter and updated the drivers calling
it.


How do you want me to send the series? There is two conflicts when
applying to libata/for-3.17:
- patch 4/8: it takes into account a patch not in libata/for-3.17 but
  added before rc7. It should be better to first merge rc7, otherwise
  some modifications won't make sense.
- patch 6/8: "fsl,imx53-ahci" was removed from the documentation in
  libata/for-3.17 but not in rc7. Resolving the conflict is really
  simple.

I think it's better to apply the whole thing after merging rc7 into
libata/for-3.17, because it will only have a really simple conflict to
resolve.

Please tell me what do you prefer before I send the updated version.
