Hello, Zhao.

I haven't really followed AHCI suspend/resume stuff but AFAICT it never
made to #upstream.  I don't know whether it was included in -rc# or not.
 But it sounds like it did.

One thing to note about suspend/resume is they should be handled from
EH.  IIRC, they weren't synchronized properly with the rest of libata.
Maybe it can be another ATA_EH action or maybe it needs separate
handling but at any rate it should be handled as part of EH to be
synchronized properly.  I'm planning to work on suspend/resume once the
currently pending changes settle down.  I thought about including them
in this round but the changes were HUGE as they were, so decided to
defer it.
