I guess the only way to have, for example the ICH6, not using legacy
IRQ/ports, is to switch it to AHCI, which only the BIOS can do (if
implemented).

"native mode" is where PATA and/or SATA PCI device is programmed into
full PCI mode -- PCI BARs, PCI irq, etc.  Some BIOSen allow you to
enable mode, which disables all use of legacy IRQ/ports.

Also, ICH6 silicon does not support AHCI, only ICH6-R and ICH6-M.

Hello Jeff,

AHCI also works when the so called option "RAID mode" on ICH6R/ICH7 is set.

One question in addition when will the patch of Jens in libata-2.6
tree?or is it already merged?
