Muhammed Gamal (IIRC) was also interested in AHCI emulation.

Really, if you think you want to do the S3 emulation, go ahead and apply
for that :-). If you want to do the AHCI emulation, go ahead and apply
there. If you think you want do either of them, apply for both.

We haven't decided on any slots yet and we'll probably not be able to
take everyone, because Google's slots are limited. We'll do the sorting
after everyone applied :-).
