Legacy/Native IDE mode is designed for compatibility with some old OS without AHCI driver but looses SATAII/AHCI features such as NCQ.

I doubt if it's appropriate to do all this via ifdefs. Users don't compile
their kernels - others compile them for the users. We need the one kernel
binary to support both modes. Possible?
