Bang-Ga. This is part of patchset series described in [T]. This is the second take of prep-for-hotplug-support patchset. Changes from the last take[L] are * dev->flags is used for warm plug and synchronized with host_set lock. ata_dev_init() is updated to clear non-persistent part of dev->flags while holding host_set lock. * ap->orig_sata_spd_limit renamed to ap->hw_sata_spd_limit. * sata_phy_debounce() implemented. This function will be called before performing EH resets to settle devices instead of blind delay. sata_phy_debounce() is superset of the wait used in sata_phy_resume() and sata_phy_resume() is converted to use it. * TF access is made optional. All probing (including boot probing) will be done via hotplug and hotplug probing is implemented such that ->tf_read/write() isn't necessary, so now drivers like sata_sil24 don't have to fake TF access. As ->check_[alt]status() was embedded too deep, ata_noop_check_status() is added instead of making those methods optional. In the long term, those low level methods should be separated from highlevel ops somehow. * ops->prereset() added. This function is the counterpart of postreset() and called before a series of resets. This is quite similar to ->probe_init() except that it's called for all resets. prereset() can determine things like whether it's prepping for boot probing or not, and which reset will be performed by testing ap->flags and ehi. * Followup-softreset handling implemented. * hotplug will completely replace ->probe_init/reset().
