I'll send the patch in an hour or so.

I'd like to get in the updated patch description, that documents we
intentionally do not apply these workarounds in non-SFF drivers.

That will eventually be relevant for, e.g. the upcoming Marvell PATA
driver (libata-dev.git#mv-ahci-pata) that needs to care about this
problem, but where the workaround does not exist at all, since the
controller is ultra-modern.
