This is bad for two reasons:
1. If they're returned to outside applications, no-one knows what
they mean.
2. Eventually they'll clash with the ever expanding standard error
codes.
The problem error code in question is ETASK. I've replaced this by
ECOMM (communications error on send) a network error code that seems to
most closely relay what ETASK meant.

It was always set to ata_port_disable(). Removed the hook, and replaced
the very few ap->ops->port_disable() callsites with direct calls to
ata_port_disable().

Introduce ata_link. It abstracts PHY and sits between ata_port and
ata_device. This new level of abstraction is necessary to support
SATA Port Multiplier, which basically adds a bunch of links (PHYs) to
a ATA host port. Fields related to command execution, spd_limit and
EH are per-link and thus moved to ata_link.
This patch only defines the host link. Multiple link handling will be
added later. Also, a lot of ap->link derefences are added but many of
them will be removed as each part is converted to deal directly with
ata_link instead of ata_port.
This patch introduces no behavior change.

Eliminate unnecessary PCI dependencies in libsas. It should use generic
DMA and struct device like other subsystems.

Not everyone wants libsas automatically to pull in libata. This patch
makes the behaviour configurable, so you can build libsas with or
without ATA support.

This fixes up the usage in libsas (which are easy to miss, since they're
only in the scsi-misc tree) ... and also corrects the documentation on
the point of what these two function pointers actually return.

ATA devices need special handling for sas_task_abort. If the ATA command
came from SCSI, then we merely need to tell SCSI to abort the scsi_cmnd.
However, internal commands require a bit more work--we need to fill the qc
with the appropriate error status and complete the command, and eventually
post_internal will issue the actual ABORT TASK.

The SATL should connect the scsi_cmnd to the sas_task (despite the presence
of libata) so that requests to abort scsi_cmnds headed to the ATA device
can be processed by the EH and aborted correctly. The abort status should
still be propagated from sas -> ata -> scsi.

When libsas encounters a STP device whose protocol isn't recognized (i.e.
not ATA or ATAPI), we should set the ata_device's class to ATA_DEV_UNKNOWN
instead of ATA_DEV_ATA.

A sas_task sent to an ATAPI devices returns SAM_GOOD if successful.
Therefore, we should treat this the same way we treat ATA commands
that succeed.

Since the aic94xx sequencer assigns its own NCQ tags to ATA commands, it
no longer makes any sense to copy the sactive field in the STP response
to ata_port->sactive, as that will confuse libata. Also, libata seems
to be capable of managing sactive on its own.
The attached patch gets rid of one of the causes of the BUG messages in
ata_qc_new, and seems to work without problems on an IBM x206m.

This patch adds a new field, lldd_task, to ata_queued_cmd so that libata
users such as libsas can associate some data with a qc. The particular
ambition with this patch is to associate a sas_task with a qc; that way,
if libata decides to timeout a command, we can come back (in
sas_ata_post_internal) and abort the sas task.
One question remains: Is it necessary to reset the phy on error, or will
the libata error handler take care of it? (Assuming that one is written,
of course.) This patch, as it is today, works well enough to clean
things up when an ATA device probe attempt fails halfway through the probe,
though I'm not sure this is always the right thing to do.

The sas_ata_qc_issue function was incorrectly written to return error
codes such as -ENOMEM. Since libata OR's qc->err_mask with the
return value, It is necessary to make my code return one of the
AC_ERR_ codes instead. For now, use AC_ERR_SYSTEM because an error
here means that the OS couldn't send the command to the controller.
If anybody has a suggestion for a better AC_ERR_ code to use, please
suggest it.

ata_qc_complete and ata_sas_queuecmd require that the port lock be held
when they are called. sas_ata doesn't do this, leading to BUG messages
about qc tags newly allocated qc tags already being in use. This patch
fixes the locking, which should clean up the rest of those messages.
So far I've tested this against an IBM x206m with two SATA disks with no
BUG messages and no other signs of things going wrong, and the machine
finally passed the pounder stress test.

This is a respin of my earlier patch that migrates the ATA support code
into a separate file. For now, the controversial linking bits have
been removed per James Bottomley's request for a patch that contains
only the migration diffs, which means that libsas continues to require
libata. I intend to address that problem in a separate patch.
This patch is against the aic94xx-sas-2.6 git tree, and it has been
sanity tested on my x206m with Seagate SATA and SAS disks without
uncovering any new problems.
