INLINE COMMENTS sys/dev/ahci/ahci.c:150-153 AHCI specification defines this register as read-only. It tells nothing about "restoring" this register. I don't like idea of writing to read-only registers. sys/dev/ahci/ahci.c:199-201 According to specification, this is something that platform/BIOS must set. I know that Linux sets it always, but I believe that this is spec violation. If there is some BROKEN hardware that require it to be set by the driver, I can accept hardware-specific quirk or some tunable, but not global.
