I'd much prefer if the driver always calls hpriv->start_engine() which
is initialized to the default callback during common init and then
overridden if necessary.

This is a bit trouble some because ahci_start_engine is also exported,
so the patch would also need to fix all callers (and probably un-export
it). I can do this in the next revision in the patch-set if you want me
to, just explaining why I choose to do this the way I did.

Hans
