Yeah, sure.  We end up having to export a function anyway.  Better to
avoid duplicating the function body.

Can you give it a test?  The two commands are really similar, so it'd
be surprising if the controller only chokes on one of them.  Another
thing worthwhile testing is "libata.force=noncq,pio0" so that you can
be sure other pio commands are okay.

Thanks.
