Brian King 80289167fd [PATCH] libata: Add support for SATA attachment to SAS adapters 
The following patch enhances libata to allow SAS device drivers
to utilize libata to talk to SATA devices. It introduces some
new APIs which allow libata to be used without allocating a
virtual scsi host.

New APIs:

ata_sas_port_alloc - Allocate an ata_port
ata_sas_port_init - Initialize an ata_port (probe device, etc)
ata_sas_port_destroy - Free an ata_port allocated by ata_sas_port_alloc
ata_sas_slave_configure - configure scsi device
ata_sas_queuecmd - queue a scsi command, similar to ata_scsi_queuecomand

These new APIs can be used either directly by a SAS LLDD or could be used
by the SAS transport class.

Possible usage for a SAS LLDD would be:

scsi_scan_host
	target_alloc
		ata_sas_port_alloc
	slave_alloc
		ata_sas_port_init
	slave_configure
		ata_sas_slave_configure

Commands received by the LLDD for SATA devices would call ata_sas_queuecmd.

Device teardown would occur with:

slave_destroy
	port_disable
target_destroy
	ata_sas_port_destroy
