    [libata] consolidate data transfer mode handling · 263924d7

    The various ways you can send data to/from your ATA device is
    known as the ATA taskfile protocol:  PIO single sector, PIO
    multiple sector, DMA, DMA TCQ, DMA NCQ, ...
    
    Prior to this change, the data direction (read/write) was encoded
    implicitly into the ATA_PROT_xxx value itself.  This increased
    complexity in some areas, and inhibited flexibility in others.
    
    This change separates data direction from taskfile protocol, and also
    moves the data direction flag (ATA_QCFLAG_WRITE) down to a lower
    level (ATA_TFLAG_WRITE).
