Excellent!  I will try this right away.

Speaking of ICH drivers, I was looking at FreeBSD's ataraid driver to
see if I could add support for Intel's "MatrixRAID" to ataraid(4)
(basic support would probably be easy to port over).  Sure, it's BIOS
RAID, but it can be nice not to have to configure raid/ccd devices.
One thing I'm unsure about: Would our ataraid pseudo-device would with
ahci?  I've never used this driver before.
