Hi all,

This patch set refactors AHCI code to make it more generic, plus
adds a new platform driver to support AHCI interfaces integrated
into System-On-Chip devices.

The patches should apply on top of v2.6.33 (soon will be rebased
on top of linux-next).

I don't have any PCI AHCI handy (yet, but I plan to find one), so
PCI AHCI was only compile-tested.

As demonstrated in libata-dev.git#libahci, I think the best route is to move generic code into libahci. In #libahci you will see

	libahci -> common code
	ahci -> standard PCI driver, req's libahci
	mv-ahci -> Marvell AHCI driver, req's libahci
	acard-ahci -> ACard AHCI driver, req's libahci

and to this we could easily add

	platform-ahci -> platform AHCI driver, req's libahci

WARNING: #libahci should not be used directly, it is meant for illustration purposes only. It has not been properly updated for several recent ahci.c changes upstream, which implies that the trivial-and-obvious task of moving generic code from ahci.c to libahci.c must be redone.
