[PATCH] ahci: enable prefetching

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Sat Mar 11 2006 - 21:27:41 EST


Enable prefetching. This hints AHCI controller that it can prefetch
PRT entries and CDB (for PACKET commands). This is a hint. AHCI
controller is free to ignore it or prefetch regardless of this bit.

Note that prefetching bit should be turned off for NCQ commands or
FIS-based switching PM support.
