sata_sx4: speed up ECC initialization
ECC initialization takes too long. It writes zeroes by portions of 4 byte, it takes more than 6 minutes on my machine to initialize 512Mb ECC DIMM module. Change portion to 128Kb - it significantly reduces initialization time. Signed-off-by: Alexander Beregalov <a.beregalov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
