The sil24 hardware has a built-in list of commands and associated

However,
if the command is not known to the controller then it presumably
assumes it to
be a non-data command which then causes protocol mismatch errors if
the device
ends up requesting data transfer. The new DATA SET MANAGEMENT - Trim
command
causes this issue since it's a DMA data-out command.

Since we should always know best what protocol the command should be
using,
let's just set the override flag to inform the controller what
protocol to use
for all non-ATAPI commands with data transfer.

Any more comments on this one? Thought I heard an ack from Tejun on it..

Hasn't this gone upstream yet??
Heck, it should even go out for -stable, too.

It's queued for 2.6.32... I'd rather be more conservative and get wider testing before pushing such a fundamental change to sata_sil24 data xfer path upon everyone.
