It's not needed, and it generates very poor code on some platforms.

Noticed by Bart and David Miller.

Changes:
   - send vendor, product and rev strings back for 36 byte
     INQUIRYs
   - set the additional length field to indicate 96 byte
     response is available 

This bug could potentially lead to soft hangs (processes stuck in D
state) if an error occurred.

Yet another undocumented nuance of the ->eh_strategy_handler.

Thanks to excellent detective work by Brad Campbell tracking this down.

Mainly adding the infrastructure for various ATA ioctls.  Currently
only supports two ATA-specific ioctls:
HDIO_GET_32BIT and HDIO_SET_32BIT (hdparm -c)

Abstract out PIO data xfer to xfer-a-sector and other-stuff pieces,
then add new ATAPI code that uses the common xfer-a-sector code.

We were reading the data swapped, which was correct for the
data page read from IDENTIFY DEVICE and incorrect for all other
situations.

The newly introduced ->fcntl file_operation is badly thought out,
not to mention undocumented.  This patch replaces it with two better
defined operations -- check_flags and dir_notify.  Any other fcntl()s
that filesystems are interested in can have their own properly typed
f_op method when they need it.

Patch from Marc Singer

The work already done to rectify the timer code initialization missed
a necessary change.  This patch adds a timer initialization function
to the LPD7A400 machine type.  It also makes a small correction to the
kernel configuration that is out of step with the machine specific
Kconfig.

Patch from Marc Singer

This patch aligns the lh7a40x port with the updated structure of IDE
drivers.  It also removes an unused FIQ handler.  This patch is made
in order to get the lh7a40x port to build.

Patch from Catalin Marinas

This patch replaces the -mshort-load-bytes option with $(call
check_gcc,-malignment-traps,-mshort-load-bytes) in the CFLAGS
setting in arch/arm/Makefile.

In the *ppos cleanups, proc_dol2crvec was updated, but the prototype
found at the top of kernel/sysctl.h was not, generating warning.  This
corrects the prototype to match the code.

(I'm gonna take a stab at moving these into arch/ppc shortly)
