Eigth update to the new ATA/ATAPI driver:

Fixed problems:

    LS120/ZIP drives still currupted data.
	Reworked once again, buffered I/O is just ignoring any sizehints
	it is given :( 
	Now the atapifd driver splits up requests for devices that has
	limitted transfer size.

    ISA only configs fails on boot with interrupt timeouts.
	The new-bus integration introduced a bug where the softc ptr
	was lost during the probe.

Some minor cleanups and rearrangements as well.

As usual USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!, this is still pre alpha level code.
Especially the DMA support can hose your disk real bad if anything
goes wrong, again you have been warned :)
Notebook owners should be carefull that their machines dont suspend
as this might cause trouble...

But please tell me how it works for you!

Enjoy!

-Søren
