OK, here it is in full signed-off glory. Hopefully we can get this in
for 2.6.20.

Several people reported issues with certain drive commands timing out on
sata_nv controllers running in ADMA mode. The commands in question were
non-DMA-mapped commands, usually FLUSH CACHE or FLUSH CACHE EXT.
From experimentation it appears that the NV_INT_DEV indication isn't
always set when a legitimate command completion interrupt is received on
a legacy-mode command, at least not on these controllers in ADMA mode.
When a command is pending on the port, force the flag on always in the
irq_stat value before calling nv_host_intr so that the drive busy state
is always checked by ata_host_intr.
This also fixes some questionable code in nv_host_intr which called
ata_check_status when a command was pending and ata_host_intr returned
"unhandled". If the device interrupted at just the wrong time this could
cause interrupts to be lost.
