controllers (PDC203** PDC206**).
This also adds preliminary support for the Promise SX4/SX4000 but *only*
as a "normal" Promise ATA controller (ATA RAID's are supported though
but only RAID0, RAID1 and RAID0+1).
This cuts off yet another 5-8% of the command overhead on promise controllers,
making them the fastest we have ever had support for.
Work is now continuing to add support for this in ATA RAID, to accellerate
ATA RAID quite a bit on these controllers, and especially the SX4/SX4000
series as they have quite a few tricks in there..
This commit also adds a few fixes to the SATA code needed for proper support.
This adds support for cardbus ATA/SATA controllers. I get roughly the
same transfer speeds as on true PCI controllers. Nice to be able to add
a couble of "real" disks to a laptop :)
Restructure the way ATA/ATAPI commands are processed, use a common
ata_request structure for both. This centralises the way requests
are handled so locking is much easier to handle.
The driver is now layered much more cleanly to seperate the lowlevel
HW access so it can be tailored to specific controllers without touching
the upper layers. This is needed to support some of the newer
semi-intelligent ATA controllers showing up.
The top level drivers (disk, ATAPI devices) are more or less still
the same with just corrections to use the new interface.
Pull ATA out from under Gaint now that locking can be done in a sane way.
Add support for a the National Geode SC1100. Thanks to Soekris engineering
for sponsoring a Soekris 4801 to make this support.
Fixed alot of small bugs in the chipset code for various chips now
we are around in that corner anyways.
real SATA disks now that I can test it.
Add support for the SiI 3112 SATA chip using memory mapped I/O.
Update the support for the SiI 0680 to use the memio interface as well.

Sponsored by: FreeBSD Systems (www.FreeBSDsystems.com) (SATA disks)
project by providing documentation (under NDA) and hardware for
testing. This commit is the first result of the cooperation, and
adds support for several of their new controllers that we didn't
support before (and probably newer would have without this arrangement).
Add support for the Promise SATA150 TX2/TX4 and the Promise TX4000
controllers. This also adds support for various motherboard fitted
Promise SATA/ATA chips.
Note that this code uses memory mapped registers to minimize overhead.
I belive FreeBSD has made another first in the Open Source world
by being able to release support for this :)
Clean up the DMA interface too much unneeded stuff crept in with
the busdma code back when.
Modify the ATA_IN* / ATA_OUT* macros so that resource and offset
are gotten from a table. That allows for new chipsets that doesn't
nessesarily have things ordered the good old way. This also removes
the need for the wierd PC98 resource functions.
Tested on: i386, PC98, Alpha, Sparc64
This moves all chipset specific code to a new file 'ata-chipset.c'.
Extensive use of tables and pointers to avoid having the same switch
on chipset type in several places, and to allow substituting various
functions for different HW arch needs.
Added PIO mode setup and all DMA modes.
Support for all known SiS chipsets. Thanks to Christoph Kukulies for
sponsoring a nice ASUS P4S8X SiS648 based board for this work!
Tested on: i386, PC98, alpha and sparc64
