This patch fixes some problems with ADMA-capable controllers with regard to freeze,
thaw and irq_clear libata callbacks. Freeze and thaw didn't switch the ADMA-specific
interrupts on or off, and more critically the irq_clear function didn't respect
the restriction that the notifier clear registers for both ports have to be written
at the same time even when only one port is being cleared. This could result in
timeouts on one port when error handling (i.e. as a result of hotplug)
occurred on the other port.

As well, this fixes some issues in the interrupt handler: we shouldn't check any
ADMA status if the port has ADMA switched off because of an ATAPI device, and
it also checks to see if any ADMA interrupt has been raised even when we are in
port-register mode.
