[GIT PULL] libata fixes for v3.18-rc4

Hello, Linus.

libata fixes for v3.18-rc4.

The most notable is the revert of lock splitting optimization in ahci.
This also made the IRQ handling threaded even when there's only one
IRQ in use. The conversion missed IRFQ_SHARED leading to screaming
IRQs problem in some cases and the threaded IRQ handling showed
performance regression in some LKP test cases. The changes are
reverted for now. It'll probably be retried once threaded IRQ
handling is removed from ahci.

Other than that, there's one fix for ahci and several patches adding
device IDs.

Thanks.
