    libata: separate out ata_host_alloc() and ata_host_register() · f3187195
    Tejun Heo authored
    Reorganize ata_host_alloc() and its subroutines into the following
    three functions.
    
    * ata_host_alloc() : allocates host and its ports.  shost is not
      registered automatically.
    
    * ata_scsi_add_hosts() : allocates and adds shosts associated with an
      ATA host.  Used by ata_host_register().
    
    * ata_host_register() : takes a fully initialized ata_host structure
      and registers it to libata layer and probes it.
    
    Only ata_host_alloc() and ata_host_register() are exported.
    ata_device_add() is rewritten using the above functions.  This patch
    does not introduce any observable behavior change.  Things worth
    mentioning.
    
    * print_id is assigned at registration time and LLDs are allowed to
      overallocate ports and reduce host->n_ports during initialization.
      ata_host_register() will throw away unused ports automatically.
    
    * All SCSI host initialization stuff now resides in
      ata_scsi_add_hosts() in libata-scsi.c, where it should be.
    
    * ipr is now the only user of ata_host_init().  Either kill it by
      converting ipr to use ata_host_alloc() and friends or rename and
      move it to libata-scsi.c
