Apparently ICH6-M always uses device ID 0x2653 for its SATA "function"
(whether in SATA mode or in IDE mode).

What triggered these two patches was the warning I quoted in patch 1/2
(which Tejun already queued). Looking at the code involved raised the,
obvious, question why ahci bothers to attach to ICH6-M in IDE mode.
Anyhow, the only problem is that it unsuccessfully probes when ICH6-M is
in IDE mode. The probe doesn't break things, as far as I can tell.
