libata and bogus LBA48 drives
A colleague noticed recent versions of Ubuntu no longer detect his 80 GB ST380020ACE drive. This drive is special in that it advertises LBA48 support, but has the lba_capacity_2 field set to zero (cfr. http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/3/30/163). Upon closer look, libata indeed doesn't seem to handle this case yet. Below is an (untested) fix. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
