In non-coherent DMA mode, kernel uses cache flushing operations to
maintain I/O coherency, so in ata_do_dev_read_id() the DMA buffer
should be aligned to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN. Otherwise, If a DMA buffer
and a kernel structure share a same cache line, and if the kernel
structure has dirty data, cache_invalidate (no writeback) will cause
data corruption.

This function is called only for the PIO mode commands, so I doubt this is necessary...
