[PATCH] libata: implement dummy port
Implement dummy port which can be requested by setting appropriate bit in probe_ent->dummy_port_mask. The dummy port is used as placeholder for stolen legacy port. This allows libata to guarantee that index_of(ap) == ap->port_no == actual_device_port_no, and thus to remove error-prone ap->hard_port_no. As it's used only when one port of a legacy controller is reserved by some other entity (e.g. IDE), the focus is on keeping the added *code* complexity at minimum, so dummy port allocates all libata core resources and acts as a normal port. It just has all dummy port_ops. This patch only implements dummy port. The following patch will make libata use it for stolen legacy ports. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>
