This patch updates the sata_promise driver as follows:
- Correct typo in definition of PDC_TBG_MODE: it's at 0x41C not 0x41
in first-generation chips. This error caused PCI access alignment
exceptions on SPARC64, and on all platforms it disabled the expected
initialisation of TBG mode.
- Prevent TBG mode and SLEW rate initialisation in second-generation chips.
These two registers have moved, TBG mode has been redefined, and
Promise's ulsata2 driver no longer attempts to initialise them.
- Correct PCI device table so devices 0x3570, 0x3571, and 0x3d73 are
marked as 2057x (2nd gen) not 2037x (1st gen).
- Correct PCI device table so device 0x3d17 is marked as 40518
(2nd gen 4 ports) not 20319 (1st gen 4 ports).
- Correct pdc_ata_init_one() to treat 20771 as a second-generation chip.
(The 20771 classification is redundant as it is equivalent to 2057x.)

Tested on 0x3d75 (2nd gen), 0x3d73 (2nd gen), and 0x3373 (1st gen) chips.
The information comes from the newly uploaded Promise SATA HW specs,
Promise's ultra and ulsata2 drivers, and debugging on 3d75/3d73/3373 chips.

Looks pretty decent to me. Two small nits:

1) no_tbg_slew_init should be a bit flag ("1 << 0") inside a 'flags' variable in struct pdc_host_priv.

2) Check pdc_ulsata2 again, I think the flash control register is programmed with a different value on SATAI versus SATAII.
