    ahci.c: walkaround for SB600 SATA internal error issue · 55a61604

       There is a HW issue in ATI SB600 SATA that PxSERR.E should not be
    set on some conditions, for example, when there is no media in SATA
    CD/DVD drive or media is not ready, AHCI controller fails to execute
    ATAPI commands and reports PORT_IRQ_TF_ERR, but ATI SB600 SATA
    controller sets PxSERR.E at the
    same time, which is not necessary.
        This patch is just to ignore the INTERNAL ERROR in such case.
    Without this patch, ahci error handler will report many errors as
    below:
