[PATCH] libata: return sense data in HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl
Make the HDIO_DRIVE_CMD ioctl in libata (ATA command pass through) return a few ATA registers to userspace, following the same convention as the drivers/ide implementation of the same ioctl. This is needed to support ATA commands like CHECK POWER MODE, which return information in nsectors. This fixes "hdparm -C" on SATA drives. Forcing the sense data read via the cc flag causes spurious check conditions, so we filter these out (following the ATA command pass-through specification T10/04-262r7).
