[PATCH] ahci: enable prefetching for PACKET commands

[Tejun Heo]

Turn on AHCI_CMD_PREFETCH for PACKET commands.  This hints the
controller that it can prefetch the CDB and the PRD entries.  This
patch is originally from Jeff Garzik.

Jeff, I'll send two flavors of this patch.  The other one will enable
AHCI_CMD_PREFETCH for both ATA and ATAPI devices.  I've tested both
cases on ICH7R.
