kernel - AHCI hotplug work to help support AMD chipsets
* Change the Hot-plug mechanics to something which appears to work for
both NVidia and AMD AHCI chipsets, and hopefully Intel too (untested).
This appears to fix hot-plug for AMD's SB850-based AHCI (circa AM3 socket
mobos).
* Basically the SCTL.DET and CMD.SUD bits control the behavior of the
SATA Phy, but in typical Intel fashion the specification is seriously
lacking on how events such as hot-plug are handled based on what state
the phy is in.
Previously we were looking for phy transition events while holding
the port in the RESET state (DET=1, SUD=1), which worked up till this
point. But it doesn't work with AMD's SB850-based AHCI.
Now we are attempting to do the same thing with the port in
the SPIN-UP/NORMAL state (DET=0, SUD=1).
* The AHCI documentation wants us to use the LISTEN mode (DET=0, SUD=0)
and get a SERR.DIAG.X event for hot-plug but this doesn't seem to work
very reliably. In fact, 10.10.4 is ambiguous for the case
where Staggered-spin-up is not supported since SUD is wired to '1'
in that case (making LISTEN mode impossible).
