libata-acpi: allow _GTF on SATA, but disable on PATA for now
The ACPI specification states, and BIOS implementations depend on,
_STM being called before _GTF.
SATA does this, but PATA does not. So for now, simply
prevent execution of _GTF on PATA devices. Longer term we
should implement ACPI support for PATA devices in libata.
