Debugging ahcisata?

[Paul Goyette <paul%whooppee.com@localhost>]

I've got a rather old (2+ years) motherboard with a Marvell 88SE614X 
SATA II PCI-E Controller which is seen by autoconfig as

        vendor 0x11ab product 0x6141 (SATA mass storage, interface 0x81,
        revision 0x01) not configured

I thought maybe it might be recognizable just like several other PCI 
devices, so I added an entry for this device in the "quirk list" in
sys/dev/pci/ahcisata_pci.c

The device is now recognizable, but it doesn't seem to work quite right! 
In particular, when I attached a disk drive to one of the SATA ports, 
the disk appears as

        wd2 at atabus9 drive 0: <ST506>
        wd2: drive supports 1-sector PIO transfers, chs addressing
        wd2: 69632KB, 1024 cyl, 8 head, 17 sec, 512 bytes/sect x
        139264 sectors
        wd2(ahciata0:2:0): using PIO mode 0

It looks pretty clear that this Controller failed to properly handle the 
drive-identify function!  (Just to make sure that the drive was good, I 
connected it to another machine, and it was properly detected as a
<WDC WD3200AAKS-75L9A0> with 298GB and all the correct geometry data.

It's possible that the recently-added sys/dev/ic/mvsata driver might 
work better, but I'm not at all sure of the value to which some of the 
fields in the struct mvsata_product should be initialized.  (What is the 
'hc' member?  Is 'ports' the number of ports?  Is it more likely to be a 
gen1 or gen2e?)

Any suggestions?  I don't really want to spend a lot of time on this, 
but if it's not too painful it would be nice to make it work.  :)
