Close but no cigar. The pata_acpi driver needs to be able to pass its own
pointer for gtf as it wants to keep multiple states to hand.

Make ap->acpi_port_link a local variable and it is easier to read and
smaller and faster, need to pass the struct to gtm/stm from the caller -
easily pushed up a layer.

Ditto 

Otherwise looks good.
