hi,
i have a MacBook pro and i noticed that linux
(2.6.20)
binds the ata_piix driver
to the SATA controller.
being my SATA controller an AHCI (ICH7M) i added the
PCI ID to ahci.c
then tested the system.
i inline the patch here:
--- linux-2.6.20/drivers/ata/ahci.c 2007-02-06

and i also done some benchmarks just to test if it is
worth it:
