When libata-bmdma.c is seperated out from libata-core.c, I was wondering why the
BM-DMA PRD table management codes such as ata_sg_setup() are left in libata-core.c,
while the old WD1003/ST-506 like logic ata_tf_load(), ata_exec_command() and ata_check_status()
are moved to the libata-bmdma.c.

Jeff explained the traditional WD1003 ST-506 registers can be viewed as subset of BM-DMA,
but I still feel strange to call the old WD1003-like IDE controllers on my 386/486 as "BM-DMA"...

hehe :)

Well I am more than willing to rename it, though its a bit low priority.

What would people prefer?  libata-sff.c ?
