The attachment adds the second item above to the patch
suggested by Chris Paulson-Ellis <chris@xxxxxxxxxx> in:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-hotplug-devel&m=113529667019652&w=2

The patch is against lk 2.6.15 and was tested on a sil
controller with a Seagate ST380013AS sata disk.

Changelog:
  - make existing libata VPD device identification page (0x83)
    supply the ATA serial number in the libata "vendor
    specific" designator (from Chris Paulson-Ellis)
  - add a "t10 vendor id based" designator as defined in
    SAT rev 07a (section 10.3.4.2.3) that supplies ATA
    model and serial numbers
  - make the libata VPD page 0x83 more extensible (for
    adding more designators in the future).
