[PATCH 1/2] sata_nv: don't use legacy DMA in ADMA mode

[Robert Hancock <hancockr@shaw.ca>]

We need to run any DMA command with result taskfile requested in ADMA mode
when the port is in ADMA mode, otherwise it may try to use the legacy DMA engine
in ADMA mode which is not allowed. Enforce this with BUG_ON() since data
corruption could potentially result if this happened.
