[PATCH] libata: add human-readable error value decoding (v2)

From: Robert Hancock
Date: Mon May 14 2007 - 19:56:10 EST


This adds human-readable decoding of the ATA status and error registers (similar
to what drivers/ide does) as well as the SATA Serror register to libata error
handling output. This prevents the need to pore through standards documents
to figure out the meaning of the bits in these registers when looking at error
reports. Some bits that drivers/ide decoded are not decoded here, since the bits
are either command-dependent or obsolete, and properly parsing them would add
too much complexity.

This version reduces the length of the SError parsed output strings relative to the
previous version of this patch.
