NAME

     ahcisata -- AHCI 1.0 and 1.1 compliant SATA controllers driver

SYNOPSIS

     ahcisata* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000

DESCRIPTION

     The ahcisata driver supports SATA controllers compliant with the Serial ATA Advanced Host Controller Interface Revision 1.0 or 1.1 specifica-
     tion, and provides the interface to the hardware for the ata(4) driver.

     The ahcisata driver will only attach if the controller has been put in AHCI mode by the BIOS; if the controller is in pciide-compatible mode,
     it will be handled by the appropriate driver (piixide(4) for Intel AHCI controllers).
