ahci: work around ATI SB600 h/w quirk

This addresses the recent ATI SB600 errata, where the hardware does
not like 256-length PRD entries during FPDMA (aka NCQ).

It hurts performance on SB600, but it is more important to get a
correct patch eliminating the data corruption/lockups, and then later
on tune for performance.

We simply limit each command to a maximum of 255 sectors, on SB600.
