Fixed the problem that "smartctl -a /dev/some_sata_disk -d ata" does
not work on SATA device. ( The smartctl v5.38 does need "-d ata"
option.)
The aic94xx need to return ATA output register for all ATA commands
except ATA Read/Write commands.
The aic94xx also mark out the DRQ bit from status register which is
treated as AC_ERR_HSM (host state machine violation) error by top layer
if it set to one.
The firmware of aic94xx chip handle all ATA handshaking, data transfer
and return ATA output register which is sent by the device. So the DRQ
bit may not reflect the last state of device when the command finished
and it is no meaning for the caller.
