SubjectMerging ATA passthru

Folks,

Taking Mark Lord's (and others) criticism to heart, I'm going to merge
the ATA passthru work upstream, once 2.6.14 is released.

Since there are still some reported problems that I haven't had time to
track down, I'm going to -- like ATAPI -- introduce a module option that
enables passthru. It will default to off.

Other features that follow a similar pattern -- 98% there but needs a
few final tweaks -- will be treated in the same way.

This gets lesser-used features upstream where they can get the most
testing, while defaulting them to off ensures that we won't perturb the
known-working code.

This also will help me, in that I won't have to maintain a bunch of
parallel codebases.

Jeff
