[PATCH-RFC] (was: Re: Sata Sil3512 bug?; Promise SATA300 TX4)

Hello.

There appears to be a hardware bug in that it chokes on scatterlist
if the last item is larger than 164 bytes.

The patch that follows fixes my problem on 2.6.22.

I can't think of a way to avoid second pass over scatterlist without
duplicating code (ata_qc_prep() and ata_fill_sg() from libata-core.c).
