Subject: [PATCH 1/3] libata: Add the AHCI_HFLAG_YES_ALPM flag

Some hardware is capable of supporting Aggresive Link Power Management
even though it is not indicated by the Host Capability register.

This commit adds the AHCI_HFLAG_YES_ALPM flag to the AHCI library to
allow indication of this quirk when the Host Capability register is
Read Only and therefore cannot be changed.
