drivers/ata changes for SMBIOS and System Firmware

As part of the new SMBIOS and System Firmware code:

- Replace old dmi* structures and functions with new sysfw* and smbios*
structures and functions in individual drivers
- cleanup sysfw_id lookup tables
- cleanup of includes for dmi.h and mod_devicetable.h which were included in
some files that did not need them

It is surprising that nobody else needed this.  I would rather that this 
sort of thing go into the generic code, where it lived prior to this change.

Either way, though,

I presume you'll merge this at the same time as the rest of the rename 
changes.
