Update libata's SMART-related ioctl handlers to match the current
ATA command pass-through specification (T10/04-262r7). Also change
related SCSI op-code definition to match current spec.

Contact w/ spec author (Curtis Stevens @ Western Digital) indicates
that while a revision 8 of the spec is expected, that it is really
only a re-formatting of the text to match T10 requirements. According
to Stevens, revision 8 is expected to be the last version of the spec.

Well, I'm sure that is what is in T10/04-262r7 in Table 1 on Page 1.
The spec is available here:

http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.04/04-262r7.pdf

Previous versions of the spec did not specify a value. As to whether
or not the current spec is in error, hopefully Curtis can elablorate?

That very point came up recently in a MMC meeting:
http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/document.05/05-056r0.pdf

To confuse things further "ATA_16" is shown as opcode 0x98
in the latest draft of SPC-3 (rev 21c 15 January 2005)
http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/drafts/spc3/spc3r21c.pdf [annex D.3.1].

Hopefully these matters will be sorted out at the next t10
meeting in March.

So that means I have to hold off releasing SMART support for SATA for
yet another couple months? Oh well...
