sata_sil - broke at some point

[Jason Pfingstmann]

I've got a SIL3112-based PCMCIA SATA controller which, I believe,
worked on my old system (~2.6.11 maybe?  Not sure, don't have it
anymore - sorry).  I have been trying to get it to work with 2.6.17.1
(don't see anything major that should effect up through 2.6.17.3, so
unless requested to, am sticking with this vers (dialup))).  Thanks in
advance.

Here's what I have:

lspci -v:

I'm using a "gentoo-sources" Gentoo kernel, but have run diff against
a vanilla 2.6.17.1 sata_sil.c with no differences.  I have sata_sil
built into the kernel currently.

The drive connected to it is a WD2500.

Other errors that *MAY* be related on my system:
dmesg reports this frequently, but I've read that I can safely ignore this:
APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)

VIA chipset?  If so, the following message might be relevant.

Nope, I'm afraid not.  The only VIA device I have (from lspci |grep -i
via) is my firewire controller.  The SATA controller is a Silicon
Image 3112 based card (PCMCIA) and my onboard IDE controller is the
ATI IXP.  This is a laptop, btw, with an AMD64 mobile processor (my
system is compiled all 64-bit, retaining 32-bit compatibility though).
