ahci: Use virt_to_phys() to denote physical addresses for DMA

Browse Source 
Update the assignment of various physical memory buffers used by the
SATA controller to explicitly be denoted as physical addresses.

The memory is identity-mapped, so these function calls are a nop, but
they provide good semantic documentation for any maintainers.

The return value of virt_to_phys() is 'unsigned long'.  On machines
where sizeof(unsigned long) != sizeof(pointer), a cast through
(uintptr_t) is needed to appease the compiler due to the potential of
losing the upper 32 bits of the address.

In compilation this scenario, a physical address could be 64-bits, yet
the C pointer environment only allows 32-bit addresses; the constraint
is that pointers cannot address more than 4Gb of memory and if
virt_to_phys() ever returns an out-of-range value for the physical
address, there are issues with emmory mapping which must be solved.
However, since the memory is identify mappeed, there is no problem
introducing the cast: the original pointer will reside in 32-bits, so
the physical address will also be within in 32-bits.
