The old value (0xbc) in cycles of the IORDY timeout is suitable for

299b3f8df9 sata_mv: workaround for multi_count errata sata24
Workaround for errata SATA#24 in sata_mv.
This errata affects WRITE_MULTI* commands when
the device multi_count produces a DRQ block size >= 4Kbytes.

We work around it here by converting such operations
into ordinary PIO_WRITEs instead.

Note that this might result in a PIO FUA write unavoidably being converted
into a non-FUA write.  In practice, any system using FUA is also going to be
using DMA rather than PIO, so this shouldn't affect anyone in the real world.

2b748a0a34 sata_mv: implement IRQ coalescing (v2)
Add IRQ coalescing to sata_mv (off by default).

This feature can reduce total interrupt overhead for RAID setups
in some situations, by deferring the interrupt signal until one or both of:

 a) a specified io_count (completed SATA commands) is achieved, or
 b) a specified time interval elapses after an IO completion.

For now, module parameters are used to set the irq_coalescing_io_count
and irq_coalescing_usecs (timeout) globally.  These may eventually
be supplemented with sysfs attributes, so that thresholds can be set
on-the-fly and on a per-chip (or even per-host_controller) basis.

6be96ac15e sata_mv: fix SoC interrupt breakage
For some reason, sata_mv doesn't clear interrupt status during init
when it's running on an SoC host adapter.  If the bootloader has
touched the SATA controller before starting Linux, Linux can end up
enabling the SATA interrupt with events pending, which will cause the
interrupt to be marked as spurious and then be disabled, which then
breaks all further accesses to the controller.

This patch makes the SoC path clear interrupt status on init like in
the non-SoC case.

mv_platform_probe(..) initializes a shadow irq mask with 0 assuming
that's the value of the controller's register. Now
mv_set_main_irq_mask(..) only writes the controller's register if the
new value differs from the "shadowed" value. This is fatal when trying
to disable all interrupts in mv_init_host(..), i.e. the following
function call does not write anything to the main irq mask register:

  mv_set_main_irq_mask(host, ~0, 0);

The effect I see on my machine (QNAP TS-109 II) with booting via kexec
(with Linux as a 2nd-stage boot loader) is that if the sata_mv module
was still loaded when performing kexec, then the new kernel's sata_mv
module starts up with interrupts enabled. This results in an unhandled
IRQ and breaks the boot process.

The unhandled interrupt itself might also be fixed by Lennert's patch
proposed at http://markmail.org/message/kwvzxstnlsa3s26w which I did not
try yet.

However I still propose to additionally initialize the shadow variable
with the current contents of the main irq mask register to get both in
sync and allow proper disabling the main irq mask. This fixes the
unhandled irq on my machine.
