libata: rename SFF functions

SFF functions have confusing names. Some have sff prefix, some have
bmdma, some std, some pci and some none. Unify the naming by...

* SFF functions which are common to both BMDMA and non-BMDMA are
prefixed with ata_sff_.

* SFF functions which are specific to BMDMA are prefixed with
ata_bmdma_.

* SFF functions which are specific to PCI but apply to both BMDMA and
non-BMDMA are prefixed with ata_pci_sff_.

* SFF functions which are specific to PCI and BMDMA are prefixed with
ata_pci_bmdma_.

* Drop generic prefixes from LLD specific routines. For example,
bfin_std_dev_select -> bfin_dev_select.

The following renames are noteworthy.

ata_qc_issue_prot() -> ata_sff_qc_issue()
ata_pci_default_filter() -> ata_bmdma_mode_filter()
ata_dev_try_classify() -> ata_sff_dev_classify()

This rename is in preparation of separating SFF support out of libata
core layer. This patch strictly renames functions and doesn't
introduce any behavior difference.

libata: make reset related methods proper port operations

Currently reset methods are not specified directly in the
ata_port_operations table. If a LLD wants to use custom reset
methods, it should construct and use a error_handler which uses those
reset methods. It's done this way for two reasons.

First, the ops table already contained too many methods and adding
four more of them would noticeably increase the amount of necessary
boilerplate code all over low level drivers.

Second, as ->error_handler uses those reset methods, it can get
confusing. ie. By overriding ->error_handler, those reset ops can be
made useless making layering a bit hazy.

Now that ops table uses inheritance, the first problem doesn't exist
anymore. The second isn't completely solved but is relieved by
providing default values - most drivers can just override what it has
implemented and don't have to concern itself about higher level
callbacks. In fact, there currently is no driver which actually
modifies error handling behavior. Drivers which override
->error_handler just wraps the standard error handler only to prepare
the controller for EH. I don't think making ops layering strict has
any noticeable benefit.

This patch makes ->prereset, ->softreset, ->hardreset, ->postreset and
their PMP counterparts propoer ops. Default ops are provided in the
base ops tables and drivers are converted to override individual reset
methods instead of creating custom error_handler.

* ata_std_error_handler() doesn't use sata_std_hardreset() if SCRs
aren't accessible. sata_promise doesn't need to use separate
error_handlers for PATA and SATA anymore.

* softreset is broken for sata_inic162x and sata_sx4. As libata now
always prefers hardreset, this doesn't really matter but the ops are
forced to NULL using ATA_OP_NULL for documentation purpose.

* pata_hpt374 needs to use different prereset for the first and second
PCI functions. This used to be done by branching from
hpt374_error_handler(). The proper way to do this is to use
separate ops and port_info tables for each function. Converted.

libata: stop overloading port_info->private_data

port_info->private_data is currently used for two purposes - to record
private data about the port_info or to specify host->private_data to
use when allocating ata_host.

This overloading is confusing and counter-intuitive in that
port_info->private_data becomes host->private_data instead of
port->private_data. In addition, port_info and host don't correspond
to each other 1-to-1. Currently, the first non-NULL
port_info->private_data is used.

This patch makes port_info->private_data just be what it is -
private_data for the port_info where LLD can jot down extra info.
libata no longer sets host->private_data to the first non-NULL
port_info->private_data, @host_priv argument is added to
ata_pci_init_one() instead. LLDs which use ata_pci_init_one() can use
this argument to pass in pointer to host private data. LLDs which
don't should use init-register model anyway and can initialize
host->private_data directly.

Adding @host_priv instead of using init-register model for LLDs which
use ata_pci_init_one() is suggested by Alan Cox.

libata: make ata_pci_init_one() not use ops->irq_handler and pi->sht

ata_pci_init_one() is the only function which uses ops->irq_handler
and pi->sht. Other initialization functions take the same information
as arguments. This causes confusion and duplicate unused entries in
structures.

Make ata_pci_init_one() take sht as an argument and use ata_interrupt
implicitly. All current users use ata_interrupt and if different irq
handler is necessary open coding ata_pci_init_one() using
ata_prepare_sff_host() and ata_activate_sff_host can be done under ten
lines including error handling and driver which requires custom
interrupt handler is likely to require custom initialization anyway.

As ata_pci_init_one() was the last user of ops->irq_handler, this
patch also kills the field.

libata: implement and use ops inheritance

libata lets low level drivers build ata_port_operations table and
register it with libata core layer. This allows low level drivers
high level of flexibility but also burdens them with lots of
boilerplate entries.

This becomes worse for drivers which support related similar
controllers which differ slightly. They share most of the operations
except for a few. However, the driver still needs to list all
operations for each variant. This results in large number of
duplicate entries, which is not only inefficient but also error-prone
as it becomes very difficult to tell what the actual differences are.

This duplicate boilerplates all over the low level drivers also make
updating the core layer exteremely difficult and error-prone. When
compounded with multi-branched development model, it ends up
accumulating inconsistencies over time. Some of those inconsistencies
cause immediate problems and fixed. Others just remain there dormant
making maintenance increasingly difficult.

To rectify the problem, this patch implements ata_port_operations
inheritance. To allow LLDs to easily re-use their own ops tables
overriding only specific methods, this patch implements poor man's
class inheritance. An ops table has ->inherits field which can be set
to any ops table as long as it doesn't create a loop. When the host
is started, the inheritance chain is followed and any operation which
isn't specified is taken from the nearest ancestor which has it
specified. This operation is called finalization and done only once
per an ops table and the LLD doesn't have to do anything special about
it other than making the ops table non-const such that libata can
update it.

libata provides four base ops tables lower drivers can inherit from -
base, sata, pmp, sff and bmdma. To avoid overriding these ops
accidentaly, these ops are declared const and LLDs should always
inherit these instead of using them directly.

After finalization, all the ops table are identical before and after
the patch except for setting .irq_handler to ata_interrupt in drivers
which didn't use to. The .irq_handler doesn't have any actual effect
and the field will soon be removed by later patch.

* sata_sx4 is still using old style EH and currently doesn't take
advantage of ops inheritance.

libata: implement and use SHT initializers

libata lets low level drivers build scsi_host_template and register it
to the SCSI layer. This allows low level drivers high level of
flexibility but also burdens them with lots of boilerplate entries.

This patch implements SHT initializers which can be used to initialize
all the boilerplate entries in a sht. Three variants of them are
implemented - BASE, BMDMA and NCQ - for different types of drivers.
Note that entries can be overriden by putting individual initializers
after the helper macro.

All sht tables are identical before and after this patch.
