Subject: pata_it821x driver reports many FLUSH CACHE command failures

It looks like pata_it821x has never supported FLUSH_CACHE, but now
we're seeing repeated failures. They happen over and over again and
prevent installation. I stuck a dump_stack() in the failure path and
got this:

it821x: can't process command 0xE7
