sata_mv: Fix broken Marvell 7042 support.
The Marvell 7042 chip is more or less the same as the 6042 internally,
but sports a PCIe bus. Despite having identical SATA cores, the 7042
does differ from its PCI bus counterparts in placment and layout of
certain bus related registers.

Quite true, although the host controller could artificially limit this,
giving the user a mistaken impression of their port multiplier being
limited to one-command-per-N-drives.

Oh, more fiction:
Because SATA uses point-to-point connectivity, the scaling
available with SAS controllers is not possible with SATA
