Re: SiI3112 lost interrupts

[Andre Hedrick <andre@linux-ide.org>]

Well I just now got it refixed (for two environments) and discussing with
SiI how to address this in a final solution.

Working the driver not to yeild CRC reports from the PATA core when they
need to be address in the SATA layer from PHY level reporting.
