STOP PRESS!!

You need revision 1.50 of ata-chipset.c as I've just fixed another errata
with the SiI3112A chips, from the CVS log:


	Serialize access to the SATA channels, the chip messes up if
	both channels are used at the same time. 

	The SiI3112A hereby takes the price as the most crappy SATA chip in    
	existance by a significant amount.

	My advise to our userbase is to avoid this chip like the plague...
