PATCH 1/1 ata_piix: add Asus Eee 701 controller to short cable list

The drive is directly soldered to the controller, so there is no cable at all. Remove the 40-wire assumption so the drive can operate at max speed.

Before patch:

$ dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=2M count=64 iflag=direct
134217728 bytes (134 MB) copied, 5.29612 s, 25.3 MB/s

After patch:

$ dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=2M count=64 iflag=direct
134217728 bytes (134 MB) copied, 3.94955 s, 34.0 MB/s

I sent this to the linux-kernel ML earlier along with what seemed to be the maintainer from recent git-log, but I failed at reading the comments at the top of the file, so I'm resending it to you guys too. Sorry about that.
