libata-acpi: allow _GTF on SATA, but disable on PATA for now
The ACPI specification states, and BIOS implementations depend on, _STM being called before _GTF. SATA does this, but PATA does not. So for now, simply prevent execution of _GTF on PATA devices. Longer term we should implement ACPI support for PATA devices in libata. Signed-off-by: Kristen Accardi <kristen.c.accardi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
