[PATCH 0/1] HyperV ata_piix disable

We have been seeing some problems on hyper-v hypervisors wherein if the
ata_piix driver is enabled the instance may not start.  Where this occurs
there is no way to recover the instance.  This patch adds an option
to disable this driver completely even when builtin to allow recovery.
This is achieved view a new kernel command line option.

Proposing for SRU to Precise.
