Add @spd_limit to sata_down_spd_limit() so that the caller can specify
the SPD limit it wants.  This parameter doesn't get in the way even
when it's too low.  The closest possible limit is applied.

There currently are the following looping constructs.

* __ata_port_for_each_link() for all available links
* ata_port_for_each_link() for edge links
* ata_link_for_each_dev() for all devices
* ata_link_for_each_dev_reverse() for all devices in reverse order

Now there's a need for looping construct which is similar to
__ata_port_for_each_link() but iterates over PMP links before the host
link.  Instead of adding another one with long name, do the following
cleanup.

* Implement and export ata_link_next() and ata_dev_next() which take
  @mode parameter and can be used to build custom loop.
* Implement ata_for_each_link() and ata_for_each_dev() which take
  looping mode explicitly.

The following iteration modes are implemented.

* ATA_LITER_EDGE		: loop over edge links
* ATA_LITER_HOST_FIRST		: loop over all links, host link first
* ATA_LITER_PMP_FIRST		: loop over all links, PMP links first

* ATA_DITER_ENABLED		: loop over enabled devices
* ATA_DITER_ENABLED_REVERSE	: loop over enabled devices in reverse order
* ATA_DITER_ALL			: loop over all devices
* ATA_DITER_ALL_REVERSE		: loop over all devices in reverse order

This change removes exlicit device enabledness checks from many loops
and makes it clear which ones are iterated over in which direction.

<title>libata: improve EH retry delay handling</title>

EH retries were delayed by 5 seconds to ensure that resets don't occur
back-to-back.  However, this 5 second delay is superflous or excessive
in many cases.  For example, after IDENTIFY times out, there's no
reason to wait five more seconds before retrying.

This patch adds ehc-&gt;last_reset timestamp and record the timestamp for
the last reset trial or success and uses it to space resets by
ATA_EH_RESET_COOL_DOWN which is 5 secs and removes unconditional 5 sec
sleeps.

As this change makes inter-try waits often shorter and they're
redundant in nature, this patch also removes the "retrying..."
messages.

While at it, convert explicit rounding up division to DIV_ROUND_UP().

This change speeds up EH in many cases w/o sacrificing robustness.

<title>libata: consistently use msecs for time durations</title>

libata has been using mix of jiffies and msecs for time druations.
This is getting confusing.  As writing sub HZ values in jiffies is
PITA and msecs_to_jiffies() can't be used as initializer, unify unit
for all time durations to msecs.  So, durations are in msecs and
deadlines are in jiffies.  ata_deadline() is added to compute deadline
from a start time and duration in msecs.

While at it, drop now superflous _msec suffix from arguments and
rename @timeout to @deadline if it represents a fixed point in time
rather than duration.

As in sil4726, SRST can't be trusted on sil3726 causing detection
problems under certain configuraitons.  I thought it was from the
Config Disk device but apparently not.

<title>libata: make sure PMP notification is turned off during recovery</title>

PMP notification during reset can make some controllers fail reset
processing and needs to be turned off during resets.  PMP attach and
full-revalidation path did this via sata_pmp_configure() but the quick
revalidation wasn't.  Move the notification disable code right above
fan-out port recovery so that it's always turned off.

This fixes obscure reset failures.

This timeout was set low because previously PMP register access was
done via polling and register access timeouts could stack up.  This is
no longer the case.  One timeout will make all following accesses fail
immediately.

In rare cases both marvell and SIMG PMPs need almost a second.  Bump
it to 3s.

While at it, rename it to SATA_PMP_RW_TIMEOUT.  It's not specific to
SCR access.

Previously reset freeze/thaw handling lived outside of ata_eh_reset()
mainly because the original PMP reset code needed the port frozen
while resetting all the fan-out ports, which is no longer the case.

This patch moves freeze/thaw handling into ata_eh_reset().
@prereset() and @postreset() are now called w/o freezing the port
although @prereset() an be called frozen if the port is frozen prior
to entering ata_eh_reset().

This makes code simpler and will help removing hotplug event related
races.

Implement helpers to test whether PMP is supported, attached and
determine pmp number to use when issuing SRST to a link.  While at it,
move ata_is_host_link() so that it's together with the two new PMP
helpers.

This change simplifies LLDs and helps making PMP support optional.
