Right now, support is rather primitive and incomplete in sata_mv.

That may change over the next few months, as Marvell is beginning to
show some desire to have their chips fully supported, to/beyond the
current levels that sata_sil24 driver currently enjoys.

But right now it is rather spotty.

I don't know much about the other Marvell chips that run under AHCI,
but I hear that they're just fine.

Cheers
