This is a slight variant on the patch I posted December 16th to fix
libata combined mode handling. The only real change is that we now
correctly also reserve BAR1,2,4. That is basically a neatness issue.

Jeff was unhappy about two things

1. That it didn't work in the case of one channel native one channel
legacy.

This is a silly complaint because the SFF layer in libata doesn't handle
this case yet anyway.

2. The case where combined mode is in use and IDE=n.

In this case the libata quirk code reserves the resources in question
correctly already.

Once the combined mode stuff is redone properly (2.6.21) then the entire
mess turns into a single pci_request_regions() for all cases and all the
ugly resource hackery goes away.

I'm sending this now rather than after running full test suites so that
it can get the maximal testing in a short time. I'll be running tests on
this after lunch.

Appears to work just fine here (compiles, boots and I'm
typing this email :). The build warnings below seem new
to me - but I guess they're harmless...
