This patch converts the drivers in drivers/ata/* to use module_pci_driver()
macro which makes the code smaller and a bit simpler.

<content type='text'>
On AVERATEC 3200, pata_via causes memory corruption with ATAPI DMA,
which often leads to random kernel oops.  The cause of the problem is
not well understood yet and only small subset of machines using the
controller seem affected.  Blacklist ATAPI DMA on the machine.

Saves text by removing nearly duplicated text format strings by
creating ata_&lt;foo&gt;_printk functions and printf extension %pV.

ata defconfig size shrinks ~5% (~8KB), allyesconfig ~2.5% (~13KB)

Format string duplication comes from:

 #define ata_link_printk(link, lv, fmt, args...) do { \
       if (sata_pmp_attached((link)-&gt;ap) || (link)-&gt;ap-&gt;slave_link)    \

                      (link)-&gt;pmp , ##args); \
       else \
               printk("%sata%u: "fmt, lv, (link)-&gt;ap-&gt;print_id , ##args); \
       } while(0)

Coalesce long formats.

Commit 978c0666 (libata: Remove excess delay in the tf_load path)
removed ata_wait_idle() from ata_sff_tf_load() and via_tf_load().
This caused obscure detection problems in sata_sil.

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16606

The commit was pure performance optimization.  Revert it for now.

<title>libata-sff: clean up BMDMA initialization</title>

<id>c7087652e1890a3feef35b30ee1d4be68e1932cd</id>
<content type='text'>
When BMDMA initialization failed or BMDMA was not available for
whatever reason, bmdma_addr was left at zero and used as an indication
that BMDMA shouldn't be used.  This leads to the following problems.

p1. For BMDMA drivers which don't use traditional BMDMA register,
    ata_bmdma_mode_filter() incorrectly inhibits DMA modes.  Those
    drivers either have to inherit from ata_sff_port_ops or clear
    -&gt;mode_filter explicitly.

p2. non-BMDMA drivers call into BMDMA PRD table allocation.  It
    doesn't actually allocate PRD table if bmdma_addr is not
    initialized but is still confusing.

p3. For BMDMA drivers which don't use traditional BMDMA register, some
    methods might not be invoked as expected (e.g. bmdma_stop from
    ata_sff_post_internal_cmd()).

p4. SFF drivers w/ custom DMA interface implement noop BMDMA ops
    worrying libata core might call into one of them.

These problems are caused by the muddy line between SFF and BMDMA and
the assumption that all BMDMA controllers initialize bmdma_addr.

This patch fixes p1 and p2 by removing the bmdma_addr assumption and
moving prd allocation to BMDMA port start.  Later patches will fix the
remaining issues.

This patch improves BMDMA initialization such that

* When BMDMA register initialization fails, falls back to PIO instead
  of failing.  ata_pci_bmdma_init() never fails now.

* When ata_pci_bmdma_init() falls back to PIO, it clears
  ap-&gt;mwdma_mask and udma_mask instead of depending on
  ata_bmdma_mode_filter().  This makes ata_bmdma_mode_filter()
  unnecessary thus resolving p1.

* ata_port_start() which actually is BMDMA specific is moved to
  ata_bmdma_port_start().  ata_port_start() and ata_sff_port_start()
  are killed.

* ata_sff_port_start32() is moved and renamed to
  ata_bmdma_port_start32().

Drivers which no longer call into PRD table allocation are...

  pdc_adma, sata_inic162x, sata_qstor, sata_sx4, pata_cmd640 and all
  drivers which inherit from ata_sff_port_ops.

pata_icside sets -&gt;port_start to ATA_OP_NULL as it doesn't need PRD
but is a BMDMA controller and doesn't have custom port_start like
other such controllers.

Note that with the previous patch which makes all and only BMDMA
drivers inherit from ata_bmdma_port_ops, this change doesn't break
drivers which need PRD table.

We don't need to stall and wait after loading the task file and before
issuing a command, so don't do it. This shows up on profiles and is not
needed.

We don't need to stall and wait after loading the task file and before
issuing a command, so don't do it. This shows up on profiles and is not
needed.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
