Nico Huber 1f6bd94fa8 libpayload: New AHCI, ATA and ATAPI drivers
This adds a new interface for storage devices. A driver for ATA and
ATAPI drives on AHCI host controllers comes along.

The interface is very simple and was designed to match FILO's needs.
It consists of three functions:

  void storage_initialize(void);
  Initializes controllers. Should be called once at startup.

  storage_poll_t storage_probe(size_t dev_num);
     with typedef enum {
            POLL_NO_DEVICE      = -2,
            POLL_ERROR          = -1,
            POLL_NO_MEDIUM      =  0,
            POLL_MEDIUM_PRESENT =  1,
          } storage_poll_t;
  Looks for a drive with number dev_num (drives are counted from
  zero) and polls for a medium in the drive if appropriate.

  int storage_read_blocks512(size_t dev_num,
                             u64 start, size_t count,
                             unsigned char *buf);
  Reads count blocks of 512 bytes from block start of drive dev_num
  into buf.
