Marvell PATA on 6121 and similar chips should also work, but that hasn't
yet been tested. Here's the full list of what still needs testing:

- master + slave devices
- ATAPI
- 6121 (6123? others?)
LBA48


Also, there is the open question of how to deal with pata_marvell
co-existence
I think for the moment make PATA support by AHCI a config option and as
soon as we trust it we can get rid of the option and of pata_marvell.

How does this relate to 6101 which is a PATA only controller? Would that
continue to use pata_marvell or does this new stuff support such things
too?

I'm pretty sure 6101 will behave similarly to 6121, but have not verified.
