Some devices raise irq early before clearing the BSY.
This patch waits up to 10 microseconds to workaround the early irq problem.

In additional to the pata_via SET FEATURES XFER problem reported by Matthieu,
we also see the early irq problem with ICH4 + AOpen CD-936E on READ under PIO
mode 4.
The following is a port of the pata_via_fix to the libata core.
Patch against 2.6.19-rc6. For your review, thanks.
