bit almost simultaneously, before we will read it, but at least JMicron JMB363
don't. Ignore timeout errors to keep old behavior when error there was
impossible.
For me this fixes timeout errors on the first command after channel attach
or reinit. Boot in my case is not affected, as there is much time passing
between reset and next command giving reset time to complete.
done in other places. Until we have no support for command queueing we have
no any benefit from FBS, while enabling it only here somehow leads to
"port not ready" errors on Intel 63XXESB2 controller.

- protect againtst recursions,
- add new devices detection using ata_identify().
Improve ata_identify():
- do not add duplicate device if device already exist.
Rework SATA hot-plug events handling. Instead of unsafe duplicate
implementation use common ata_reinit() to handle all state changes.
All together this gives quite stable and robust cold- and hot-plug operation,
invariant to false, lost and duplicate events.
ATA specification declares minimal reset time of 5us. SATA keeps it, but
requires devices to handle commands transmitted even one by one without
any gap.

driver reported to handle them fine. Linux does the same.

join allocate() and dmainit() atapci subdriver's channel initialization
methods into single ch_attach() method.
As opposite to ch_attach() add new ch_detach() method to deallocate/disable
channel.
to not allocate them after the recent ata channels enumeration changes.
It allows to save some resources, not bother user with unexisting hardware
and not check unimplemented ports status on every interrupt.
- specification claims that 1 second is just a maximum controller reset time;
implement controller reset properly to save almost 1 second of boot, and
about half second of resume time;
- enable channel interrupts only after channel status reset to fix duplicate
device creation on resume due to unwanted device connection event;
- as described in specification, wait for disk ready status after channel
power-up; it is not so important when disk already touched by BIOS, but
solves device not ready problems on resume and probably some other cases.
- uncomment channel stop/start on soft-reset as it is declared mandatory by
specification; it was commented due to some random drive detection problems
on VIA and JMicron controllers, but I hope it is fixed by previous point.

but as it was reported on current@, it does important for sis driver and
surely inportant for AHCI driver. So restore it there.

some machines (such as Dell SC1435's) were experiencing chronic data
corruption.
- Use the MIO method to talk to the Serverworks HT1000_S1 SATA controller
like all the other SATA controllers rather than the compat PATA
method. This lets the controller see all 4 SATA ports and also
matches the behavior of the Linux driver.

If you just config KERNEL as usual there should be no apparent changes, you'll get all chipset support code compiled in.
However there is now a way to only compile in code for chipsets needed on a pr vendor basis. ATA now has the following "device" entries:
atacore: ATA core functionality, always needed for any ATA setup
atacard: CARDBUS support
atacbus: PC98 cbus support
ataisa: ISA bus support
atapci: PCI bus support only generic chipset support.
ataahci: AHCI support, also pulled in by some vendor modules.
ataacard, ataacerlabs, ataadaptec, ataamd, ataati, atacenatek, atacypress, atacyrix, atahighpoint, ataintel, ataite, atajmicron, atamarvell, atamicron, atanational, atanetcell, atanvidia, atapromise, ataserverworks, atasiliconimage, atasis, atavia; Vendor support, ie atavia for VIA chipsets
atadisk: ATA disk driver
ataraid: ATA softraid driver
atapicd: ATAPI cd/dvd driver
atapifd: ATAPI floppy/flashdisk driver
atapist: ATAPI tape driver
atausb: ATA<>USB bridge
atapicam: ATA<>CAM bridge
This makes it possible to config a kernel with just VIA chipset support by having the following ATA lines in the kernel config file:
device atacore
device atapci
device atavia
And then you need the atadisk, atapicd etc lines in there just as usual.
If you use ATA as modules loaded at boot there is few changes except the rename of the "ata" module to "atacore", things looks just as usual.
However under atapci you now have a whole bunch of vendor specific drivers, that you can kldload individually depending on you needs. Drivers have the same names as used in the kernel config explained above.
