Merge branch 'for-3.11-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata

Pull libata fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Assorted libata updates.

  The most critical one is a fix for ahci oops during boot.  Also, a new
  smallish platform ahci driver is added and sata_inic162x is marked
  clearly as experimental (it whines during boot too) as data corruption
  seems rather common on the device and it's unlikely to get any love in
  the foreseeable future.  If the whining doesn't draw any attention, I
  think we'd probably be better of making the driver depend on BROKEN in
  a couple releases"

This is v2 of this pull request with fixed dependencies for ahci_imx.
