Assembler optimised ATA transfer loops for ARM targets. Only used for PP5020/5021/5022 targets atm. PP5002 seems to have problems with it not directly related to the asm code itself, and the gigabeat doesn't profit from it, probably because the CPU isn't the bottleneck even without optimisation.
The H10 is PP5020. This change optimises reading from the hard drive so that it uses less CPU power and is faster. May give better performance while reading from disk and may increase battery life.
