Subject: [PATCH] libata-sff: fix 32-bit PIO regression

Commit 871af1210f13966ab911ed2166e4ab2ce775b99d (libata: Add 32bit PIO support)
caused all kind of errors on the ATAPI devices, so it's been empirically proven
that one shouldn't read/write an extra data word when a device isn't expecting
it already. "Don't do it then"; however still taking a chance to use 32-bit I/O
one last  time when there are exactly 3 trailing bytes.  Oh, and stop pointless
swapping bytes to and fro as well by using io*_rep() which shouldn't byte-swap.

This should fix the kernel.org bug #12609.

This is hopefully better replacement for Hugh Dickins most recent patch
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=123352294619281)...
