We need to run any DMA command with result taskfile requested in ADMA mode
when the port is in ADMA mode, otherwise it may try to use the legacy DMA engine
in ADMA mode which is not allowed. Enforce this with BUG_ON() since data
corruption could potentially result if this happened. Also WARN_ON() if we try
and send result taskfile commands while NCQ commands are still active, since the
hardware doesn't allow this.

I owe an apology here. ap->qc_allocated & ~(1 << qc->tag) test isn't
correct. Sorry. qc deferring happens after qc is allocated so the
condition can trigger (although it should be rare) even when nothing is
going wrong, so I guess it should be WARN_ON((qc->flags &
ATA_QCFLAG_RESULT_TF) && link->sactive).
Sorry. :-)

Or, just make the assumption clear by not allowing NCQ w/ RESULT_TF at all.
if (unlikely(qc->tf.protocol == ATA_PROT_NCQ &&
(qc->flags & ATA_QCFLAG_RESULT_TF)) {
ata_dev_printk(qc->dev, KERN_ERR,
"NCQ w/ RESULT_TF not allowed\n");
return AC_ERR_SYSTEM;
}
Thanks.
