I tried switching this box from the ata_piix driver to the ahci
driver. The ahci driver recognizes the ICH6M chip (it's on the
whitelist of both drivers), but probing fails with error -12=20
(-ENOMEM?! Does this make sense?).

Anyway, the ICH6M is not initialized to AHCI mode by the BIOS (at
least as judged by at ata_piix, since when using ata_piix,
piix_disable_ahci() isn't called).
