libata: Add a drivers/ide style DMA disable
This is useful when debugging, handling problem systems, or for distributions just to get the system installed so it can be sorted out later. This is a bit smarter than the old IDE one and lets you do libata.dma=0 Disable all PATA DMA like old IDE libata.dma=1 Disk DMA only libata.dma=2 ATAPI DMA only libata.dma=4 CF DMA only (or combinations thereof - 0,1,3 being the useful ones I suspect) (I've split CF as it seems to be a seperate case of pain and suffering different to the others and caused by assorted PIO wired adapters etc) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> [edited to work on SATA too, changing name from 'pata_dma' to 'dma'] Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
