Subject[PATCH v2.6.38-rc7] Revert "libata: ahci_start_engine compliant to AHCI spec"
This reverts commit 270dac35c26433d06a89150c51e75ca0181ca7e4.

The commits causes command timeouts on AC plug/unplug. It isn't yet
clear why. As the commit was for a single rather obscure controller,
revert the change for now.

The problem was reported and bisected by Gu Rui in bug#34692.

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34692

Also, reported by Rafael and Michael in the following thread.

As we're already in -rc7, I'm sending the revert patch to both Jeff
and Linus.

Thank you.
