For a legacy ATA controller, libata registers two separate host sets. There was no connection between the two hosts making it impossible to traverse all ports related to the controller. This patch adds host_set->next which points to the second host_set and makes ata_pci_remove_one() remove all associated host_sets. * On device removal, all ports hanging off the device are properly detached. Prior to this patch, ports on the first host_set weren't detached casuing oops on driver unloading. * On device removal, both host_sets are properly freed This will also be used by new power management code to suspend and resume all ports of a controller. host_set/port representation will be improved to handle legacy controllers better and this host_set linking will go away with it.
