Is this better?


ata: Add a new flag to destinguish sas controller
 
SAS controller has its own tag allocation, which doesn't directly match to ATA
tag, so SAS and SATA have different code path for ata tags. Originally we use
port->scsi_host (98bd4be1) to destinguish SAS controller, but libsas set
->scsi_host too, so we can't use it for the destinguish, we add a new flag for
this purpose.
