libata: add whitelist for devices with known good pata-sata bridges
libata currently imposes a UDMA5 max transfer rate and 200 sector max
transfer size for SATA devices that sit behind a pata-sata bridge. Lots
of devices have known good bridges that don't need this limit applied.
The MTRON SSD disks are such devices. Transfer rates are increased by
20-30% with the restriction removed.
So add a "blacklist" entry for the MTRON devices, with a flag indicating
that the bridge is known good.
