Since Alan expressed a desire to see Large Block Transfer (LBT) support

to sata_sil.
Silicon Image's Large Block Transfer (LBT) support is a vendor-specific
DMA scatter/gather engine, which enables 64-bit DMA addresses (where
supported by platform) and eliminates the annoying 64k DMA boundary
found in legacy PCI IDE BMDMA engines.
Looks like it doesn't allow 64-bit DMA addresses, it only gets rid of
the 64K boundary limitation.
rotfl. Boy am I dumb. I -thought- my patch, written months ago,
included that bit. But obviously it does not. Let's add that...
