Failure to do this will result in following ata_pio_read() calls walking
off the end of the read buffer.
This resolves the "memory modified after free" panics common with Thinkpads
and CD/DVD drives.

idle the 'mask' variable could be set to 0, resulting in the timeout loop
running for the full 31 seconds.
Handling this case eliminates long hangs on resume on some systems.

providing special version of CDIOCREADSUBCHANNEL ioctl(), which assumes that
result has to be placed into kernel space not user space. In the long run
more generic solution has to be designed WRT emulating various ioctl()s
that operate on userspace buffers, but right now there is only one such
ioctl() is emulated, so that it makes little sense.

This also adds support for bigger disks on the controller I have access to,
and maybe others if I understood the adhoc methods used on those.
Those with more PC98 bigdrive controllers it is hereby invited to add/fix
support for those in geom_pc98.c and not using #ifdef PC98 all over the place.
mutexes instead.
This closes the last (known) race issues in ATA which should fix
the various hangs etc seen on heavy loaded systems.
Change from using timeout functions to using callout functions in
the timeout code. This together with above closes the race that could
happen if timeout and device interrupt occured simultaniously.
Also fix the possible recursion in ata_reinit() on very dodgy
devices that could take us down in the probe.
This make "_NEC" devices appear as "NEC" which is more corrent.
The reason is tha NEC originally screwed up on the byteorder in the
model string, so now that they have realized that they prefixed the '_'
so that not every ATA driver on the planet would call them "EN C" :)
In places where we have long delays that doesn't depend on too accurate
timing, use ata_udelay() instead of DELAY() so we dont uselessly spin
the CPU if not nessesary;
Add missing untimeout that would get lost in handling of some
error situations, and caused what looked like random timeouts
afterwards when the timeout fired.
