[libata] Kconfig: Elaborate that SFF is meant for legacy and PATA stuff

Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers ---> Unfortunately I needed several tries to find out, that I needed the SFF menu I had not selected before because I had never heard that term before. I think it would have helped me, to have PATA or legacy IDE in that item’s name. Signed-off-by: Paul Menzel <paulepanter@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
