"ata_piix when attached to ICH6M in AHCI mode doesn't provide any
benefit over using ahci and has detection problems. Don't let
ata_piix claim ICH6M if it's in AHCI mode.
This change makes ICH6R the only one which ata_piix can attach to even
when it's in ahci mode which is necessary as some devices don't work
properly under ahci mode. Drop PIIX_FLAG_AHCI and match the
controller directly so that piix_disable_ahci() is called only for it.
This change makes PIIX_SCC no longer used and it gets dropped too.
I haven't tested it, but would this be related? http:// article. gmane.org/ gmane.linux. ide/30055 http:// bugzilla. kernel. org/show_ bug.cgi? id=9491
