parisc/pci: Switch LBA PCI bus from Hard Fail to Soft Fail mode 

[ Upstream commit b845f66f78 ]

Carlo Pisani noticed that his C3600 workstation behaved unstable during heavy
I/O on the PCI bus with a VIA VT6421 IDE/SATA PCI card.

To avoid such instability, this patch switches the LBA PCI bus from Hard Fail
mode into Soft Fail mode. In this mode the bus will return -1UL for timed out
MMIO transactions, which is exactly how the x86 (and most other architectures)
PCI busses behave.

This patch is based on a proposal by Grant Grundler and Kyle McMartin 10
years ago:

* Hard Fail vs. Soft Fail on PCI "Master Abort".
*
* "Master Abort" means the MMIO transaction timed out - usually due to
* the device not responding to an MMIO read. We would like HF to be
* enabled to find driver problems, though it means the system will
* crash with a HPMC.
*
* In SoftFail mode "~0L" is returned as a result of a timeout on the
* pci bus. This is like how PCI busses on x86 and most other
* architectures behave. In order to increase compatibility with
* existing (x86) PCI hardware and existing Linux drivers we enable
* Soft Faul mode on PA-RISC now too.
