Updates to the Silicon Image and ServerWorks drivers.

News:
* will freeze current codebase as libata 1.0, without queueing support. 
  libata 2.x development has already begun, and will support queueing, 
sata2, and will build upon the existing codebase.
* ServerWorks seems stable, will remove 'beta' label soon

Notes:
* Silicon Image support is still considered to be unstable. 
drivers/ide's siimage.c is preferred.
* Silicon Image users with Seagate SATA, particularly if you know if you 
have the "mod15write" bug, should make sure that the driver is properly 
applying the errata fix.
