Hello,

I think adding a module param directly to libahci.c should do.  Just
add it after ignore_sss and apply it to all ahci's on the host.

My memory is already fuzzy but strict adherence to the spec didn't
make whole lot of sense to me.  I think I wrote several times on the
issue already.  Plus, we're talking about introducing regressions to
generic x86 setups against few specific platforms.  If somebody can
come up with generic solution, fine, but for now, let's just revert to
the original behavior, please.

Thanks.
