[2.6 patch] select ATA_SFF
From: Adrian Bunk
Date: Mon Apr 21 2008 - 17:33:29 EST
Making ATA_SFF a user-visible option with the drivers needing it
depending on it caused the following problems:
- people lose their driver when accidentally disabling it
- people not requiring it needlessly enable it
Fortunately, we don't have to bother the user with this option at all
since we can simply select it when it's required.

- This option adds support for ATA controllers with SFF

-
- SFF is the legacy IDE interface that has been around since
- the dawn of time. Almost all PATA controllers have an
- SFF interface. Many SATA controllers have an SFF interface
- when configured into a legacy compatibility mode.

- For users with exclusively modern controllers like AHCI,
- Silicon Image 3124, or Marvell 6440, you may choose to
