According to section 10.3.1 of the AHCI spec, PxCMD.ST must not be set
unless there's a device attached. Following this saves us a measurable
quantity of power and does not impair hotplug support. Based on a patch
by Kristen Carlson Accardi.

It should be fine, but I have to rebase it onto the latest upstream ahci 
(libata-dev.git#upstream), so it's been waiting on that...

applied manually to libata-dev.git#upstream, due to large code movements 
in creation of new libahci kernel module

Note that this last test, reading SATA Control Register (SCR) Status, 
does not account for in-transition status, ie. devices that were just 
plugged in.
