Since the aic94xx sequencer assigns its own NCQ tags to ATA commands, it
no longer makes any sense to copy the sactive field in the STP response
to ata_port->sactive, as that will confuse libata. Also, libata seems
to be capable of managing sactive on its own.
The attached patch gets rid of one of the causes of the BUG messages in
ata_qc_new, and seems to work without problems on an IBM x206m.

This patch adds a new field, lldd_task, to ata_queued_cmd so that libata
users such as libsas can associate some data with a qc. The particular
ambition with this patch is to associate a sas_task with a qc; that way,
if libata decides to timeout a command, we can come back (in
sas_ata_post_internal) and abort the sas task.
One question remains: Is it necessary to reset the phy on error, or will
the libata error handler take care of it? (Assuming that one is written,
of course.) This patch, as it is today, works well enough to clean
things up when an ATA device probe attempt fails halfway through the probe,
though I'm not sure this is always the right thing to do.

The sas_ata_qc_issue function was incorrectly written to return error
codes such as -ENOMEM. Since libata OR's qc->err_mask with the
return value, It is necessary to make my code return one of the
AC_ERR_ codes instead. For now, use AC_ERR_SYSTEM because an error
here means that the OS couldn't send the command to the controller.
If anybody has a suggestion for a better AC_ERR_ code to use, please
suggest it.

ata_qc_complete and ata_sas_queuecmd require that the port lock be held
when they are called. sas_ata doesn't do this, leading to BUG messages
about qc tags newly allocated qc tags already being in use. This patch
fixes the locking, which should clean up the rest of those messages.
So far I've tested this against an IBM x206m with two SATA disks with no
BUG messages and no other signs of things going wrong, and the machine
finally passed the pounder stress test.

This is a respin of my earlier patch that migrates the ATA support code
into a separate file. For now, the controversial linking bits have
been removed per James Bottomley's request for a patch that contains
only the migration diffs, which means that libsas continues to require
libata. I intend to address that problem in a separate patch.
This patch is against the aic94xx-sas-2.6 git tree, and it has been
sanity tested on my x206m with Seagate SATA and SAS disks without
uncovering any new problems.
