Since 43cc71eed1, the platform modalias
is prefixed with "platform:". Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable
ATA and IDE platform drivers, to re-enable auto loading.
NOTE: both ata/pata_platform.c and ide/legacy/ide_platform.c claim
to provide "the" platform_pata driver, and there's no build-time
mutual exclusion mechanism. This means that configs which enable
both drivers will make some trouble when hotplugging...

SFF functions have confusing names. Some have sff prefix, some have
bmdma, some std, some pci and some none. Unify the naming by...
* SFF functions which are common to both BMDMA and non-BMDMA are
prefixed with ata_sff_.
* SFF functions which are specific to BMDMA are prefixed with
ata_bmdma_.
* SFF functions which are specific to PCI but apply to both BMDMA and
non-BMDMA are prefixed with ata_pci_sff_.
* SFF functions which are specific to PCI and BMDMA are prefixed with
ata_pci_bmdma_.
* Drop generic prefixes from LLD specific routines. For example,
bfin_std_dev_select -> bfin_dev_select.
The following renames are noteworthy.
ata_qc_issue_prot() -> ata_sff_qc_issue()
ata_pci_default_filter() -> ata_bmdma_mode_filter()
ata_dev_try_classify() -> ata_sff_dev_classify()
This rename is in preparation of separating SFF support out of libata
core layer. This patch strictly renames functions and doesn't
introduce any behavior difference.

libata lets low level drivers build ata_port_operations table and
register it with libata core layer. This allows low level drivers
high level of flexibility but also burdens them with lots of
boilerplate entries.
This becomes worse for drivers which support related similar
controllers which differ slightly. They share most of the operations
except for a few. However, the driver still needs to list all
operations for each variant. This results in large number of
duplicate entries, which is not only inefficient but also error-prone
as it becomes very difficult to tell what the actual differences are.
This duplicate boilerplates all over the low level drivers also make
updating the core layer exteremely difficult and error-prone. When
compounded with multi-branched development model, it ends up
accumulating inconsistencies over time. Some of those inconsistencies
cause immediate problems and fixed. Others just remain there dormant
making maintenance increasingly difficult.
To rectify the problem, this patch implements ata_port_operations
inheritance. To allow LLDs to easily re-use their own ops tables
overriding only specific methods, this patch implements poor man's
class inheritance. An ops table has ->inherits field which can be set
to any ops table as long as it doesn't create a loop. When the host
is started, the inheritance chain is followed and any operation which
isn't specified is taken from the nearest ancestor which has it
specified. This operation is called finalization and done only once
per an ops table and the LLD doesn't have to do anything special about
it other than making the ops table non-const such that libata can
update it.
libata provides four base ops tables lower drivers can inherit from -
base, sata, pmp, sff and bmdma. To avoid overriding these ops
accidentaly, these ops are declared const and LLDs should always
inherit these instead of using them directly.
After finalization, all the ops table are identical before and after
the patch except for setting .irq_handler to ata_interrupt in drivers
which didn't use to. The .irq_handler doesn't have any actual effect
and the field will soon be removed by later patch.
* sata_sx4 is still using old style EH and currently doesn't take
advantage of ops inheritance.

libata lets low level drivers build scsi_host_template and register it
to the SCSI layer. This allows low level drivers high level of
flexibility but also burdens them with lots of boilerplate entries.
This patch implements SHT initializers which can be used to initialize
all the boilerplate entries in a sht. Three variants of them are
implemented - BASE, BMDMA and NCQ - for different types of drivers.
Note that entries can be overriden by putting individual initializers
after the helper macro.
All sht tables are identical before and after this patch.

->irq_clear() is used to clear IRQ bit of a SFF controller and isn't
useful for drivers which don't use libata SFF HSM implementation.
However, it's a required callback and many drivers implement their own
noop version as placeholder. This patch implements ata_noop_irq_clear
and use it to replace those custom placeholders.
Also, SFF drivers which don't support BMDMA don't need to use
ata_bmdma_irq_clear(). It becomes noop if BMDMA address isn't
initialized. Convert them to use ata_noop_irq_clear().

Several fixes for the AVR32 PATA driver:
* Updated to use new AVR32 SMC timing API. This removes the need for "magic"
constants in signal timing.
* Removed the ATA_FLAG_PIO_POLLING, the driver should use interrupts.
* Removed .port_disable and .irq_ack as these are no longer needed.
* Improved some comments.

Updated and simplified driver. Use only register transfer timing for both
data and register transfers. This gives poorer performance in PIO1 and 2,
but should not be a problem in PIO3 and 4, correct me if I'm wrong :)
The driver works very we'll but I still wonder about the interrupts. I have
an interrupt line, that works nicely when POLLING flag is not set. The
problem is the number of interrupts that eat away my CPU cycles.
When using the POLLING flag there seem to be some interrupts that dosen't get
cleared. Furthermore the device dosen't drive INTRQ high, it stays at 2.5 volts
and generates a lot of interrupts due to ripple / noise. What to do?
