That also seems odd to me.  My Gigabyte 8KNXP motherboard also has a
Sil 3112 SATA RAID controller.  I can configure it in BIOS to operate
in either "base" (i.e. SATA) mode or in "raid" mode.  My 5.1-RELEASE
system just ignores the PCI device in either case because there is no
5.1-RELEASE driver for either personality.  (The controller identifies
itself slightly differently in its PCI configuration space header
depending on the mode.)

I recall booting the 5.1-RELEASE CD with the Sil 3112 controller in
base mode to see if 5.1-RELEASE had a driver for it and had no problem
(and no luck either).

Someone recently wrote in one of the freebsd-mailing-lists that they
had recently committed a Sil 3112 driver (personality unstated) in
the 5.1-current branch.
