sata_vsc: use default cache line size if non-zero
This modifies drivers/ata/sata_vsc.c to only set the cache line size to 0x80 if the default value is zero. Apparently zero isn't allowed due to a bug in the chip, but I've found performance is much better with the (non-zero) default instead of 0x80. [note1: "default" means BIOS-programmed value, in this context -jgarzik] [note2: superfluous braces were removed from the patch -jg] Signed-off-by: Nate Dailey <nate.dailey@stratus.com> Signed-off-by: Jeremy Higdon <jeremy@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
