This is a driver specifically for the ATA controller on the Geode
CS5536 companion chip.  The PCI device ID for this device was
previously claimed by pata_amd.c but there were two problems with
that:

 - Not all Geode platforms emulate the ATA registers in PCI config
   space

 - CS5536 PIO timings are not identical to AMD74XX/8111

pata_cs5536.c relies on Geode Machine Specific Registers to configure
the ATA function and uses the correct PIO timings for the chip.

Just FWIW... one you guys are happy with things, I'm ready to merge the driver whenever.
