[PATCH] libata: ACPI and _GTF support

_GTF is an acpi method that is used to reinitialize the drive.  It returns
a task file containing ata commands that are sent back to the drive to restore
it to boot up defaults.

+          These ACPI objects add the ability to retrieve taskfiles
+          from the ACPI BIOS and write them to the disk controller.
