That patch doesn't work for me. I get a panic in ahci_enable_ahci,
looks like 'mmio' is bogus there (attempting to dereference 0x01ffe6).

I notice that the PIIX device doesn't have any MMIO at all, it's all
PIO. Maybe there is some "need to enable MMIO thing" too. Or maybe I
used the wrong PCI ID when I added it to the quirk table.
