Since Alan expressed a desire to see Large Block Transfer (LBT) support
in pata_sil680, I though I would re-post my patch for adding LBT support
to sata_sil.

Silicon Image's Large Block Transfer (LBT) support is a vendor-specific
DMA scatter/gather engine, which enables 64-bit DMA addresses (where
supported by platform) and eliminates the annoying 64k DMA boundary
found in legacy PCI IDE BMDMA engines.

Looks like it doesn't allow 64-bit DMA addresses, it only gets rid of the 64K boundary limitation.

rotfl. Boy am I dumb. I -thought- my patch, written months ago, included that bit. But obviously it does not. Let's add that...
