commit e771451c0a831d96a7c14b0ca8a8ec671d98567b upstream.

libata honors DMADIR for regular commands, but not for internal commands
used (among other) during device initialisation.

This makes SATA-host-to-PATA-device bridges based on Silicon Image SiL3611
(such as "Abit Serillel 2") end up disabled when used with an ATAPI device
after a few tries.

Log output of the bridge being hot-plugged with an ATAPI drive:

  [ 9631.212901] ata1: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x40c0000 action 0xe frozen

With this patch, the drive enumerates correctly when libata is loaded with
atapi_dmadir=1:
