Commit 6bfff31e77cfa1b13490337e5a4dbaa3407e83ac (libata: kill probe_ent
and related helpers) killed ata_device_add() but didn't remove references
to it from the libata developer's guide.

Commits 9363c3825ea9ad76561eb48a395349dd29211ed6 (libata: rename SFF
functions) and 5682ed33aae05d10a25c95633ef9d9c062825888 (libata: rename
SFF port ops) renamed the taskfile access methods but didn't update the
developer's guide.  Commit c9f75b04ed5ed65a058d18a8a8dda50632a96de8
(libata: kill ata_noop_dev_select()) didn't update the developer's
guide as well.

The guide also refers to the long gone ata_pio_data_xfer_noirq(),
ata_pio_data_xfer(), and ata_mmio_data_xfer() -- replace those by
the modern ata_sff_data_xfer_noirq(), ata_sff_data_xfer(), and
ata_sff_data_xfer32().

Also, remove the reference to non-existant ata_port_stop()...

The patch is against the recent Linus' tree.

Changes since the previous version:
- I've just realized that I forgot to rename the taskfile methods themselves.
