Well, it might obviously be worthwhile removing the PCI ID's that actually
do say that they are AHCI. Maybe that's not all of them, but I wouldn't be
surprised if it's actually the majority of them..
(We had the same issue with "PCI IDE controller". Some PCI IDE controllers
are clearly exactly that from a programming interface standpoint, but
because they support RAID in hardware, they claim to be RAID controllers,
since that is more "glamorous". Gaah ;^).
