[libata] ahci: Restore SB600 SATA controller 64 bit DMA
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Community reported one SB600 SATA issue(BZ #9412), which led to 64 bit
DMA disablement for all SB600 revisions by driver maintainers with
commits c7a4215 and
4cde32f.

But the root cause is ASUS M2A-VM system BIOS bug in old revisions
like 0901, while forcing into 32bit DMA happens to work as workaround.
Now it's time to withdraw 4cde32f
so as to restore the SB600 SATA 64bit DMA capability.
This patch is also adding the workaround for M2A-VM old BIOS revisions,
but users are suggested to upgrade their system BIOS to the latest one
if they meet this issue.
