This patch improves BMDMA initialization such that * When BMDMA register initialization fails, falls back to PIO instead of failing. ata_pci_bmdma_init() never fails now. * When ata_pci_bmdma_init() falls back to PIO, it clears ap->mwdma_mask and udma_mask instead of depending on ata_bmdma_mode_filter(). This makes ata_bmdma_mode_filter() unnecessary and p1 is removed. * ata_port_start() which actually is BMDMA specific is moved to ata_bmdma_port_start(). ata_port_start() and ata_sff_port_start() are killed. Drivers which no longer calls into PRD table allocation are... pdc_adma, sata_inic162x, sata_qstor, sata_sx4, pata_cmd640 and all drivers which inherit from ata_sff_port_ops. pata_icside sets ->port_start to ATA_OP_NULL as it doesn't need PRD but is a BMDMA controller and doesn't have custom port_start like other such controllers.
