By forcing AHCI, your PATA devices will be inaccessible, in a common configuration. It also means shuffling users from one driver to another, which induces breakage.

I was speaking wishfully.  Real life intrudes, alas.

Not even as boot-time option?  I'm curious whether it might allow me
to use AHCI mode on a T60p laptop; right now I can't because in AHCI
mode the Ultrabay hard drive device becomes invisible to Linux
(although not to Windows, interestingly).  I'm currently travelling
and I don't carry the T60 around anymore, so I can't do the experiment
right this moment, but given that this would allow the T60 to take
advantage of ALPM if this works, it would be awfully tempting....

Oh sure, a boot-time option would be fine.

I want to spread AHCI far and wide; it is vastly superior to ata_piix in many ways.

I was mainly talking about unconditionally changing behavior from the current default, which presents several problems.
