Yeap, the controller is ich ahci but I'm pretty sure there's a PMP chip
connected to one of them.  Look for 4723 in the following page.

Yeah, that's probably because we're now using IRQ-driven PIO for
IDENTIFY, so we're often slower at detecting IDENTIFY failure.  We're
planning to go back to polling IDENTIFY.  Anyways, the problem here is
that the 4723 is emulating ATA device for configuration but it isn't
doing it quite right.  I'll ask SIMG about it.
