There currently are the following loop constructs.

* __ata_port_for_each_link() for all available links
* ata_port_for_each_link() for edge links
* ata_link_for_each_dev() for all devices
* ata_link_for_each_dev_reverse() for all devices in reverse order

Now there's a need for loop construct which is similar to
__ata_port_for_each_link() but iterates over PMP links before the host
link.  Instead of adding another one with long name, do the following
cleanup.

* Implement and export ata_link_next() and ata_dev_next() which take
  @mode parameter and can be used to build custom loop.
* Implement ata_for_each_link() and ata_for_each_dev() which take
  looping mode explicitly.

The following iteration modes are implemented.

* ATA_LITER_EDGE        : loop over edge links
* ATA_LITER_HOST_FIRST        : loop over all links, host link first
* ATA_LITER_PMP_FIRST        : loop over all links, PMP links first

* ATA_DITER_ENABLED        : loop over enabled devices
* ATA_DITER_ENABLED_REVERSE : loop over enabled devices in reverse order
* ATA_DITER_ALL            : loop over all devices
* ATA_DITER_ALL_REVERSE        : loop over all devices in reverse order

This change removes exlicit device enabledness checks from many loops
and makes it clear which ones are iterated over in which direction.

ACK... for 2.6.29. I think this is too much change for -rc2. It's a good idea though.

Also, it could use more documentation than just the commit message... something that programmers can easily refer to (header file comment?)
..

Yeah.  Especially a reminder of what "LITER" and "DITER" stand for!  :)

Well, DITER stands for device iteration, and LITER stands for an amount of petrol... <grin>
