There's nothing to be gained by configuring downstream links faster
than the upstream link and such configurations cause problems on
certain PMPs. Limit downstream link speed by the upstream link speed.

In sata_set_spd_needed(), if SControl read failed, it returned 0 and
skipped PHY speed configuration. However, if SControl access fails,
it's far more logical to request PHY speed configuration. Reverse the
logic.

libata EH used to ignore errors not associated with commands when
determining whether speed down is necessary or not. This leads to the
following problems.
* Errors not associated with commands can occur indefinitely without
libata EH taking corrective actions.
* Upstream link errors don't trigger speed down when PMP is attached
to it and commands issued to downstream device trigger errors on the
upstream link.
This patch makes ata_eh_link_autopsy() consider errors not associated
with command for speed down.

Reset failure is a critical error. It results in disabling the link
requiring user intervention to re-enable it. Make reset failure
handling more robust such that libata EH doesn't give up too early.
* Temporary glitches during hardreset may lead to classification
failure when there's no softreset available. Retry instead of
giving up.
* Initial softreset or follow up softreset may fail classification.
Move classification error handling block out of followup softreset
block such that both cases are handled and retry instead of giving
up. Also, on the last try, give ATA class a blind shot.

Clean up and reorganize ata_eh_reset() to ease further changes.
* Cache ARRAY_SIZE(ata_eh_reset_timeouts) in @max_tries.
* Cache link->flags in @lflags.
* Move failure handling block to the end of the function and unnest
both success and failure handling blocks.

As jiffies changes asynchronously, it needs to be cached if unchanging
timestamp is needed. The code in ata_eh_reset() intended to do that
with @now but never actually did it. Fix it.

Commands sent to ATAPI tape drives via the SCSI generic (sg) driver are
limited in the amount of data that they can transfer by the max_sectors
value. The max_sectors value is currently calculated according to the
command set for disk drives, which doesn't apply to tape drives. The
default max_sectors value of 256 limits ATAPI tape drive commands to
128 KB. This patch against 2.6.24-rc1 increases the max_sectors value
for tape drives to 65535, which permits tape drive commands to transfer
just under 32 MB.
Tested with a SuperMicro PDSME motherboard, AHCI, and a Sony SDX-570V
SATA tape drive.
Note that some of the chipset drivers also set their own max_sectors
value, which may override the value set in libata-core. I don't have
any of these chipsets to test, so I didn't go messing with them. Also,
ATAPI devices other than tape drives may benefit from similar changes,
but I have only tape drives and disk drives to test.

The original workaround for the Promise ASIC PRD bug
contained an endianess bug which I failed to detect:
the adjustment of the last PRD entry's length field
applied host arithmetic to little-endian data, which
is incorrect on big-endian machines.
We have the length available in host-endian format, so
do the adjustment on host-endian data and then convert
and store it in the PRD entry's little-endian data field.
Thanks to an anonymous reviewer for detecting this bug.

The Jazz machines have to use the PIT timer for dyntick and highresolution
kernels. This may break because currently just like i386 used to do MIPS
uses two separate spinlocks in the actual PIT code and the PC speaker
code. So switch to do it the same that x86 currently does PIT locking.
