ahci: disable SNotification capability for ich8
commit 1b677afd upstream. I obseved there is a sata_async_notification() for every ahci interrupt. But the async notification does nothing (this is hard disk drive and no pmp). This cause cpu wastes some time on sntf register access. It appears ICH AHCI doesn't support SNotification register, but the controller reports it does. After quirking it, the async notification disappears. PS. it appears all ICH don't support SNotification register from ICH manual, don't know if we need quirk all ICH. I don't have machines with all kinds of ICH. Signed-off-by:Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by:
