the ATA status register with a 4-byte read request. This updates it, and
subsequent 1-byte reads will return the correct result.
This commit adds a hack to do this, which is currently ifdef'd powerpc,
although Linux and Darwin do this unconditionally on all platforms.
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.
(still a power of 2) rather than 63k transfers. Even with 63k transfers
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.
