    Explanation taken from the comment of ata_slave_link_init().
    
     In libata, a port contains links and a link contains devices.  There
     is single host link but if a PMP is attached to it, there can be
     multiple fan-out links.  On SATA, there's usually a single device
     connected to a link but PATA and SATA controllers emulating TF based
     interface can have two - master and slave.
    
     However, there are a few controllers which don't fit into this
     abstraction too well - SATA controllers which emulate TF interface
     with both master and slave devices but also have separate SCR
     register sets for each device.  These controllers need separate links
     for physical link handling (e.g. onlineness, link speed) but should
     be treated like a traditional M/S controller for everything else
     (e.g. command issue, softreset).
    
     slave_link is libata's way of handling this class of controllers
     without impacting core layer too much.  For anything other than
     physical link handling, the default host link is used for both master
     and slave.  For physical link handling, separate @ap->slave_link is
     used.  All dirty details are implemented inside libata core layer.
     From LLD's POV, the only difference is that prereset, hardreset and
     postreset are called once more for the slave link, so the reset
     sequence looks like the following.
    
     prereset(M) -> prereset(S) -> hardreset(M) -> hardreset(S) ->
     softreset(M) -> postreset(M) -> postreset(S)
    
     Note that softreset is called only for the master.  Softreset resets
     both M/S by definition, so SRST on master should handle both (the
     standard method will work just fine).
    
    As slave_link excludes PMP support and only code paths which deal with
    the attributes of physical link are affected, all the changes are
    localized to libata.h, libata-core.c and libata-eh.c.
    
     * ata_is_host_link() updated so that slave_link is considered as host
       link too.
    
     * iterator extended to iterate over the slave_link when using the
       underbarred version.
    
     * force param handling updated such that devno 16 is mapped to the
       slave link/device.
    
     * ata_link_on/offline() updated to return the combined result from
       master and slave link.  ata_phys_link_on/offline() are the direct
       versions.
    
     * EH autopsy and report are performed separately for master slave
       links.  Reset is udpated to implement the above described reset
       sequence.
    
    Except for reset update, most changes are minor, many of them just
    modifying dev->link to ata_dev_phys_link(dev) or using phys online
    test instead.
    
    After this update, LLDs can take full advantage of per-dev SCR
    registers by simply turning on slave link.
