pata_legacy: resychronize with upstream changes and resubmit

Browse source

Update the legacy driver so it can handle VLB ports nicely, and has an
internal structure for nailing new ISA/VLB forms in.  Anyone got an ALI14xx
and a spare day ;)

Also adds an "all" parameter so you can load this driver after all the PCI
ones in a boot time kernel and tell it to grab anything ST412 compatible
even if it is an unknown PCI device.  That allows libata to offer the same
"just get me a disk somehow" fallback that old IDE did.

Obsoletes pata_qdi.
