    southbridge/amd/sb700: Add option to disable SATA ALPM
    
    The AMD Register Programming Reference states that the user should
    have the option to disable Active Link Power Management for two
    reasons.  First, some drives may not function correctly with the
    ALPM implementation of the SP5100, and second there are some
    situations where low latency access is more important than the
    power savings created by using ALPM.
    
    Allow the user to disable ALPM if desired.
