Subject: [PATCH 2/2] libata: implement support for 32-bit PIO transfers

When ATA_DFLAG_32BIT_PIO is set in ata flags, PIO transfers
will be performed in 32-bit, just like with the plain old IDE
drivers.

16-bit transfers in libata are as slow as 16-bit transfers in
plain old IDE drivers, which are about 35% slower than 32-bit
transfers with various CF and DOM. This patch restores the
performance to pre-libata level, which is a nice improvement
for many small systems relying on such hardware.

This patch relies on previous patch which implements the
ATA_DFLAG_32BIT_PIO ioctl.

To enable 32-bit transfers, simply proceed like before with
IDE :

  # hdparm -c 1 /dev/sda
