* pata_via: Cache and rewrite the device bitAlan Cox2009-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some VIA chipsets will reset the DEV bit after IEN changes on ctl. Our optimised write path avoids doing this but we need to remove the optimisation on these devices.

* sata_mv: workaround for multi_count errata sata24Mark Lord2009-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Workaround for errata SATA#24 in sata_mv. This errata affects WRITE_MULTI* commands when the device multi_count produces a DRQ block size >= 4Kbytes. We work around it here by converting such operations into ordinary PIO_WRITEs instead. Note that this might result in a PIO FUA write unavoidably being converted into a non-FUA write. In practice, any system using FUA is also going to be using DMA rather than PIO, so this shouldn't affect anyone in the real world.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During driver initialization ahci_start_port may not be able to turn LEDs off because the hardware may still be transmitting a message.

This feature can reduce total interrupt overhead for RAID setups in some situations, by deferring the interrupt signal until one or both of: a) a specified io_count (completed SATA commands) is achieved, or b) a specified time interval elapses after an IO completion. For now, module parameters are used to set the irq_coalescing_io_count and irq_coalescing_usecs (timeout) globally.
