ide-taskfile updates:

o ide-iops changes (mainly moving stuff to ide-iops.c)
o byte -> u8
o update to new ide-dma api
o driver->end_request changes
o various style cleanups
o remove ALTSTAT_SCREW_UP stuff
o WAIT_CMD -> WAIT_WORSTCASE interrupt timeout
o add (commented out) various ata commands to match 2.4.20-pre5-ac
o move the flagged_* interrupt handlers
