libata: Add a drivers/ide style DMA disable
This is useful when debugging, handling problem systems, or for
distributions just to get the system installed so it can be sorted
out later.
This is a bit smarter than the old IDE one and lets you do
libata.dma=0 Disable all PATA DMA like old IDE
libata.dma=1 Disk DMA only
libata.dma=2 ATAPI DMA only
libata.dma=4 CF DMA only
(or combinations thereof - 0,1,3 being the useful ones I suspect)
(I've split CF as it seems to be a seperate case of pain and suffering
different to the others and caused by assorted PIO wired adapters etc)
