libata: implement libata.force module parameter
This patch implements libata.force module parameter which can selectively override ATA port, link and device configurations including cable type, SATA PHY SPD limit, transfer mode and NCQ. For example, you can say "use 1.5Gbps for all fan-out ports attached to the second port but allow 3.0Gbps for the PMP device itself, oh, the device attached to the third fan-out port chokes on NCQ and shouldn't go over UDMA4" by the following. libata.force=2:1.5g,2.15:3.0g,2.03:noncq,udma4 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
