FreeBSD's ata(4) driver doesn't support MSI. This flag in linux's libata used in
if ((hpriv->flags & AHCI_HFLAG_NO_MSI) || pci_enable_msi(pdev))
pci_intx(pdev, 1);
In FreeBSD's code we have the same:
/* enable PCI interrupt */
pci_write_config(dev, PCIR_COMMAND,
pci_read_config(dev, PCIR_COMMAND, 2) & ~0x0400, 2);
AHCI_HFLAG_IGN_SERR_INTERNAL flag targeted to ignore SERR_INTERNAL errors.
FreeBSD's ata(4) driver ignores they too.
AHCI_HFLAG_32BIT_ONLY flag limits to use 32-bit DMA only.
If AHCI CAP register reports that controller supports 64-bit DMA driver will use 64-bit.
So i think there can be added one quirk for you, but i'm not sure that problem is here..
AHCI_HFLAG_SECT255 flag limits I/O operation to 255 sectors, FreeBSD uses 128-limit
by default.
