libata honors DMADIR for regular commands, but not for internal commands
used (among other) during device initialisation.

This makes SATA-host-to-PATA-device bridges based on Silicon Image SiL3611
(such as "Abit Serillel 2") end up disabled when used with an ATAPI device
after a few tries.

Log output of the bridge being hot-plugged with an ATAPI drive:

With this patch, the drive enumerates correctly when libata is loaded with
atapi_dmadir=1:
