This replaces the current disk detection and disk access code with
code based on https://wiki.osdev.org/IDE
This allows the system to boot on VirtualBox with serial debugging
enabled and VMWare Player.
I believe there were several issues with the current code:
- It didn't utilise the last 8 bits of the LBA in 24-bit mode.
- {read,write}_sectors_with_dma was not setting the obsolete bits,
which according to OSdev wiki aren't used but should be set.
- The PIO and DMA methods were using slightly different copy
and pasted access code, which is now put into a single
function called "ata_access"
- PIO mode doesn't work. This doesn't fix that and should
be looked into in the future.
- The detection code was not checking for ATA/ATAPI.
- The detection code accidentally had cyls/heads/spt as 8-bit,
when they're 16-bit.
- The capabilities of the device were not considered. This is now
brought in and is currently used to check if the device supports
LBA. If not, use CHS.
This new subsystem is somewhat replacing the IDE disk code we had with a
new flexible design.
StorageDevice is a generic class that represent a generic storage
device. It is meant that specific storage hardware will override the
interface. StorageController is a generic class that represent
a storage controller that can be found in a machine.
The IDEController class governs two IDEChannels. An IDEChannel is
responsible to manage the master & slave devices of the channel,
therefore an IDEChannel is an IRQHandler.
