ahci: add "em_buffer" attribute for AHCI hosts
Add "em_buffer" attribute for SATA AHCI hosts to provide a way for
userland to access AHCI EM (enclosure management) buffer directly if the
host supports EM.
AHCI driver should support SGPIO EM messages. However the SATA/AHCI
specs did not define the SGPIO message format filled in EM buffer.
Different HW vendors may have different definitions. The mainly purpose
of this attribute is to solve this issue by allowing HW vendors to
provide userland drivers and tools for their SGPIO initiators.
