The kernel now panics reliably on boot if you have a SATAPI device
connected.

The problem was introduced by the libata merge trying to pull out all
the SFF code into a separate module.  Unfortunately, if you're a satapi
device you usually need to call atapi_request_sense, which has a bare
invocation of a SFF callback which is NULL on non-SFF HBAs.  Fix this by
making the call conditional.
