ata: pata_falcon: add data_swab option to byte-swap disk data
Some users of pata_falcon on Q40 have IDE disks in default IDE little endian byte order, whereas legacy disks use host-native big-endian byte order as on the Atari Falcon. Add module parameter 'data_swab' to allow connecting drives with non-native data byte order. Drives selected by the data_swap bit mask will have their user data byte-swapped to host byte order, i.e. 'pata_falcon.data_swab=2' will byte-swap all user data on drive B, leaving data on drive A in native byte order. On Q40, drives on a second IDE interface may be added to the bit mask as bits 2 and 3. Default setting is no byte swapping, i.e. compatibility with the native Falcon or Q40 operating system disk format.
