If so, enable it.

As supporting AN needs host interrupt handler change. I think we need host-supports-AN flag; otherwise, we might end up with screaming interrupts in the worst case.

Quite so. Lacking a host flag, we need to know how each and every controller behaves when AN is activated (and supported by the device). I'm willing to bet some of the first-gen SATA controllers' ASIC state machines croak when AN is activated.
