ACK technical content, but it needs one revision: like someone else (Alan or Tejun?) mentioned, this patch should be revised to use a separate ata_port_operations for the affected chip(s).
Copy ahci_ops to sb600_ops, add your check-atapi-dma function without the vendor/device ID check. Move the vendor/device check to the pci_device_id table by creating a board_ahci_sb600 constant and associated table data.
I agree with other posters that we should move the revision check to more generic code, but such a move should not block this patch. The two efforts can occur in parallel.
