Subject: [patch 5/6] ide: fix races in handling of user-space SET XFER commands

From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@...il.com>
Subject: [PATCH] ide: fix races in handling of user-space SET XFER commands

* Make cmd->tf_flags field 'u16' and add IDE_TFLAG_SET_XFER taskfile flag.

* Update ide_finish_cmd() to set xfer / re-read id if the new flag is set.

* Convert set_xfer_rate() (write handler for /proc/ide/hd?/current_speed)
  and ide_cmd_ioctl() (HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl handler) to use the new flag.

* Remove no longer needed disable_irq_nosync() + enable_irq() from
  ide_config_drive_speed().

These races are easily triggable (i.e. 'hdparm -Xmode' results in the "bad
status" error during ide_driveid_update() phase) and I was no longer able to
reproduce them with this patch applied.
