sata_sil used to trigger HSM error if IRQ occurs during polling
command.  This didn't matter because polling wasn't used in sata_sil.
However, as of 2.6.20, all IDENTIFYs are performed by polling and
device detection sometimes fails due to spurious IRQ.  This patch
makes sata_sil ignore and clear spurious IRQ while executing commands
by polling.

This fixes bug#7996 and IMHO should also be included in -stable.
