PATCH: libata. BMDMA handling updates

PATCH: libata. BMDMA handling updates

[Alan Cox]

This is the minimal patch set to enable the current code to be used with
a controller following SFF (ie any PATA and early SATA controllers)
safely without crashes if there is no BMDMA area or if BMDMA is not
assigned by the BIOS for some reason.

Simplex status is recorded but not acted upon in this change, this isn't
a problem with the current drivers as none of them are for simplex
hardware. A following diff will deal with that.

The flags in the probe structure remain ->host_set_flags although Jeff
asked me to rename them, simply because the rename would break the usual
Linux rules that old code should break when there are changes. not
compile and run and then blow up/eat your computer/etc. Renaming this
later is a trivial exercise once a better name is chosen.

Hello, Alan.

Can you please cc linux-ide next time?

Thanks.
