Pull libata updates from Tejun Heo:

 - ahci grew runtime power management support so that the controller can
   be turned off if no devices are attached.

 - sata_via isn't dead yet.  It got hotplug support and more refined
   workaround for certain WD drives.

 - Misc cleanups.  There's a merge from for-4.5-fixes to avoid confusing
   conflicts in ahci PCI ID table.

* 'for-4.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata:
  ata: ahci_xgene: dereferencing uninitialized pointer in probe
  AHCI: Remove obsolete Intel Lewisburg SATA RAID device IDs
  ata: sata_rcar: Use ARCH_RENESAS
  sata_via: Implement hotplug for VT6421
  sata_via: Apply WD workaround only when needed on VT6421
  ahci: Add runtime PM support for the host controller
  ahci: Add functions to manage runtime PM of AHCI ports

Now that applications need to explicitly ask for polling we can enable it
by default in blk-mq drivers.  Note that this will only have an affect
on driver that supply a poll function, which currently only includes nvme.

Driver private request types should not get the artifical cap for the
FS requests.  This is important to use the full device capabilities
for internal command or NVMe pass through commands.

Updated by me to use an explicit check for the one command type that

In the following patch, the way for figuring out
the last bvec will be changed with a bit cost introduced,
so return immediately if the queue doesn't have virt
boundary limit. Actually most of devices have not
this limit.

If block device is left runtime suspended during system suspend, resume
hook of the driver typically corrects runtime PM status of the device back
to "active" after it is resumed. However, this is not enough as queue's
runtime PM status is still "suspended". As long as it is in this state
blk_pm_peek_request() returns NULL and thus prevents new requests to be
processed.

Add new function blk_set_runtime_active() that can be used to force the
queue status back to "active" as needed.

<title>block/sd: Return -EREMOTEIO when WRITE SAME and DISCARD are disabled</title>

<id>0fb5b1fb30fba3671dd5b1489d78e93e08d62e4e</id>
<content type='text'>
When a storage device rejects a WRITE SAME command we will disable write
same functionality for the device and return -EREMOTEIO to the block
layer. -EREMOTEIO will in turn prevent DM from retrying the I/O and/or
failing the path.

Yiwen Jiang discovered a small race where WRITE SAME requests issued
simultaneously would cause -EIO to be returned. This happened because
any requests being prepared after WRITE SAME had been disabled for the
device caused us to return BLKPREP_KILL. The latter caused the block
layer to return -EIO upon completion.

To overcome this we introduce BLKPREP_INVALID which indicates that this
is an invalid request for the device. blk_peek_request() is modified to
return -EREMOTEIO in that case.
