Subject: [PATCH] libata_acpi: A different strategy for using ACPI
 information

Lots of BIOSen simply return the BIOS set modes via the ACPI methods and
pass back the values you give it across suspend/resume. Thus instead of
trying to do clever stuff with this data we instead use it as a way to
take a sneak peak at cable type information when viable. This should help
us catch more of the laptops that do weird stuff, the VIA SATA bridges
and the totally horked Nvidia cable handling.

For now its only used by the VIA and AMD/NV driver until we get a better
idea of whether this is a sensible idea or not.

Opinions ?
