Applied patches 1 and 2 of the first CHS series,
and patches 3-1 through 3-3 of the second CHS series, to libata-dev queue.
As a follow-up, I believe libata-core should be modified to issue the
INITIALIZE DEVICE PARAMETERS command for all CHS devices.
Thanks,
Jeff

The exact sequence expected by certain pre-ATA4 (or earlier?) drives
was this:
SRST RESET
IDENTIFY
INITIALIZE DRIVE PARAMETERS
anything else..
Some drives were very specific about that exact sequence.
Nowadays, I don't bother with it for anything new I do,
as it is obsolete, and may even get reject

c) add CHS support
Otherwise, patch #3 (content-wise) is OK.
