Well kind of, but not completely since that old IDE PIIX driver does
work when its set to Enhanced AHCI. It's just that it doesn't show up on
the PCI bus, or so it seems at least.

Yes, but it's a SOHO NAS box by Intel; the SS4200-E is the branded one
that comes with some kind of EMC NAS software, and the ESW is the OEM
version which is sold under various names, without the software. I've
got the latter.
In either case, there's no BIOS upgrades, only "firmware" which is the
EMC NAS stuff that gets shipped with the -E version, and Intel put up a
notice on Jan 10th that the product is discontinued since Dec '09. So
that's a dead end.
Can we force ata_piix to pick up the IDE controller? I mean the old IDE
PIIX driver can do it (albeit terribly slow), so why can't ata_piix? I
won't lose sleep if I have to pass an option to the kernel or modprobe
for this to happen as it's an uncommon case.
