wdc_regs structure, and array of which (indexed per channel) is pointed
to by struct wdc_softc.
- Move the resulting wdc_channel structure to atavar.h and rename it to
ata_channel. Rename the corresponding flags.
- Add a "ch_ndrive" member to struct ata_channel, which indicates the
maximum number of drives that can be present on the channel. For now,
this is always 2. Add an ATA_MAXDRIVES constant that places an upper
limit on this value, also currently 2.
registers are registers that overlap with others on many controllers, but
which may actually be distinct on some controllers. Right now, the two
shadows are:
- wd_status (usually overlaps wd_command)
- wd_features (usually overlaps wd_error)
Add a new helper function, wdc_init_shadow_regs(), used to initialize
the shadow register handles on controllers where they do actually overlap.

- wdc_xfer to ata_xfer
- channel_queue to ata_queue
and move them to <dev/ata/atavar.h> so they can be used by non-wdc ATA
controllers. Clean up the member names of these structures while at it.

This adds a device (atabus) between IDE controllers and wd or atapibus, to
have each ATA channel show up in the device tree. Later there will be atabus
devices in /dev, so that we can do IOCTL on them.
Each atabus has its own kernel thread, to handle operations that needs polling,
e.g. reset and others.
Device probing on each bus it defered to the atabus thread creation.
This allows to do the reset and basic device probes in parallel, which reduce
boot time on systems with several pciide controllers.
most polling.
2) Clean up some goofiness in pciide -- get rid of the whole "candisable" path
(it's gratuitous) and simplify the code by calling pciide_map_compat_intr(),
*_set_modes() and wdc_print_modes() from central locations.
3) Add a register writability and register ghost test to eliminate phantom
drives more quickly.
