Add ch_suspend/ch_resume methods for PCI controllers and implement them
for AHCI. Refactor AHCI channel initialization according to it.
Fix Port Multipliers operation. It is far from perfect yet, but works now.
Tested with JMicron JMB363 AHCI + SiI 3726 PMP pair.
Previous version was also tested with SiI 4726 PMP.

- 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.
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.
