[RFC 4/4] libata: Make sil680 do its own exec_command posting

[Alan Cox]

Use our own mmio area to avoid PCI posting. This avoids the rather slow
paranoid implementation in the default handler.

(Note - this is pure paranoia, brute force testing says the SIL680 is doing
 the work itself somewhere as does the fact its worked without it for years
 in the old IDE code)

We cannot make this logic generic as
- There are only a couple of potential SFF style users
- The other one can come up in PIO only modes with no bmdma
