Misc ATAPI commands may try to transfer more bytes than requested. For PIO which is performed by libata HSM, this is worked around by draining extra bytes from __atapi_pio_bytes(). This patch implements drain buffer to perform draining for DMA and PIO-over-DMA cases. One page is allocated w/ GFP_DMA32 during libata core layer initialization. On host registration, this drain page is DMA mapped and ATAPI_MAX_DRAIN_PAGES sg entries are reserved. ata_sg_setup_extra() uses these extra sg entries to map the drain page ATAPI_MAX_DRAIN_PAGES times, extending sg list by ATAPI_MAX_DRAIN bytes. This allows both DMA and PIO-over-DMA misc ATAPI commands to overflow by ATAPI_MAX_DRAIN bytes just like PIO commands.
