The attached patch changes libata device scanning from using the legacy
"bang at the door" method of probing devices, to one that calls
scsi_scan_target() for each target (ATA device) that the libata
transport layer found.
Completely untested, feedback welcome. This should improve the speed of
SATA probing a tad, and certainly makes it quite a bit less ugly.
This might get moved, eventually, into an ATA transport class, depending
on how things shape up in the future.
