Commit 871af1210f13966ab911ed2166e4ab2ce775b99d (libata: Add 32bit PIO support)
has caused all kinds of errors on the ATAPI devices, so it has been empirically
proven that one shouldn't try to read/write an extra data word when a device is
not expecting it already. "Don't do it then"; however, still use a chance to do
32-bit read/write one last time when there are exactly 3 trailing bytes.

Oh, and stop pointlessly swapping the bytes to and fro on big-endian machines
by using io*_rep() accessors which shouldn't byte-swap.

This patch should fix the kernel.org bug #12609.

Added the comments and signoff.
The patch is against the recent Linus' tree.
It's a hopefully better replacement for Hugh Dickins most recent patch
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=123352294619281)...
