Subject: libata: add a host flag to ignore detected ATA devices
From: Andy Whitcroft <[email protected]>
commit db63a4c8115a0bb904496e1cdd3e7488e68b0d06 upstream.
Where devices are visible via more than one host we sometimes wish to
indicate that cirtain devices should be ignored on a specific host. Add a
host flag indicating that this host wishes to ignore ATA specific devices.
