Backport ATA_FLAG_NO_SRST and ATA_FLAG_ASSUME_ATA. These are originally link flags (ATA_LFLAG_*) but link abstraction doesn't exist on 2.6.23, so make it port flags. This is for the following workaround for ASUS P5W DH Deluxe. These new flags don't introduce any behavior change unless set and nobody sets them yet. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx> --- This and the next patch are a bit large for -stable but they don't change anything for machines other than P5W DH and P5W DH users have been suffering long enough, so I think it'll be nice to include these patches in the next -stable release. However, feel free to NACK if you can see some danger in these patches.

ACK from me, though I wonder if we shouldn't wait and get feedback once this hits upstream (my next push to Andrew and Linus), before applying to stable. No special reason, just being conservative...
