Subject: [010/129] libata-sff: remove harmful BUG_ON from ata_bmdma_qc_issue

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Mark Lord <kernel@...savvy.com>

commit 55ee67f837882f28a900705a2ca1af257ab6c53d upstream.

Remove harmful BUG_ON() from ata_bmdma_qc_issue(),
as it casts too wide of a net and breaks sata_mv.
It also crashes the kernel while doing the BUG_ON().

There's already a WARN_ON_ONCE() further down to catch
the case of POLLING for a BMDMA operation.
