[patch libata-dev-2.6 5/5] libata: update ATA pass thru opcodes

From: John W. Linville

Update ATA pass thru opcodes to match what is specified in the current
ATA pass thru spec (T10/04-262r7).

This part was controversial before, because these opcodes seemed to
overlap with some existing opcodes. So I contacted the author of
the spec, Curtis Stevens: (quoted without permision)

"The command values in 04-262r7 are correct. There was an erroneous value
published in the minutes that subsequently got published in SPC. This has
been corrected.

Command sets are supposed to be qualified by the Inquiry Peripheral Device
Type. I am a little concerned that some portions of linux depend on opcodes
being the same for all PDTs. Using reusing opcodes will continue to happen
more frequently as new applications emerge and new devices are created. The
SCSI opcoded are already overloaded to the point that Service Actions have
become necessary to extend the protocol."

Honestly, I don't know if that clears things up or not. But, Curtis
seems pretty adamant that the values in the patch below (which match
rev 7 of the spec) are correct. IMHO, at worst these values are no
more wrong than the ones already there.

So, apply this now, or apply it later... :-)
