MMIO doesn't work at all?

I'm a bit reluctant to push this into mainline, particularly when I feel that the sata_sil driver could still be updated to use only 32-bit MMIO transactions without much problem.

Hello, Kevin, Jeff.

IIRC, Kevin's platform can't do any MMIO. Also, although sata_sil can be made to use 32-bit address space exclusively, I think having PIO access in the meantime can be helpful to many newer ATI mips platforms out there. Please note that w/ ioread/write change, the modified code is isolated into init_one(), so the added complexity is small.

Thanks.
