Subject: [PATCH 1/2] libata: add a host flag to ignore detected ATA devices

Where devices are visible via more than one host we sometimes wish to
indicate that cirtain devices should be ignored on a specific host.  Add a
host flag indicating that this host wishes to ignore ATA specific devices.

Signed-off-by: Andy Whitcroft <apw@...onical.com>
