Bug#319659: #undef ATA_ENABLE_PATA

[Horms <horms@verge.net.au>]

Hi Jeff, Hi All,

In the cause of debuging a problem with a DVD burner[1]
Brett Smith brought to my attention that there are several
variables in ./include/linux/libata.h, that when changed
from #undef to #define, enable features in the ATA subsystem.

Is there any interest in a patch to make any/all of these configurable
through Kconfig, or are they too hackish/dangerous/whatever to consider.
I'm more than happy to make a patch if there is interest, please let me
know wither way.

Specifically, I am refering to:

/*
 * compile-time options
 */
#undef ATA_DEBUG                /* debugging output */
#undef ATA_VERBOSE_DEBUG        /* yet more debugging output */
#undef ATA_IRQ_TRAP             /* define to ack screaming irqs */
#undef ATA_NDEBUG               /* define to disable quick runtime checks */
#undef ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI         /* define to enable ATAPI support */
#undef ATA_ENABLE_PATA          /* define to enable PATA support in some
                                 * low-level drivers */
#undef ATAPI_ENABLE_DMADIR      /* enables ATAPI DMADIR bridge support */
