Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ide: add ide_dev_is_sata() helper (take 2)

Make the SATA drive detection code from eighty_ninty_three() into inline
ide_dev_is_sata() helper fixing it along the way to be more strict while
checking word 80 for the reserved values...

Signed-off-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@...mvista.com>

---
This version doesn't flip the MSB, it just casts word80 to 'signed short'
This is still against the current Linus' tree and unfortunately I was able to
only compile test it since that tree gives MODPOST warning and dies early on
bootup (yes, Bart this is still the case).  Alos, I have no SATA bridge/drive
here at hand...
