The libata driver will not work with an M5229 set into native IDE

it's own IRQ.

The M5229 implementation embedded into the ALI M1543 uses the
M1543's ISA PIC to provide the interrupts and thus does not have
an valid PCI IRQ set. This quirk detects the abscence of IRQ and
sets the M5229 back into compatibility mode to use IRQs 14 and 15
so that libata works correctly.

Note, I belive that the check for an valid interrupt line is
correct, I only have an M5229 in an ALI M1543 to check this
on. It would be useful to confirm that a M5229 with an valid IRQ
does not trigger this quirk.

This is a bit surprising, considering that libata works for all IDE mode of other controllers...
