Ah... fancy. You can just make it PATA if doesn't have SCR access and
supports slave device and use ata_cable_unknown() for ->cbl_detect.

After messing around for a bit, what I came up with that worked, was
very similar to what it set for ich8_sata_ahci. So, I tried just adding
the new DeviceID as an ich8_sata_ahci and it seems to work fine. Do you
see anything wrong with just doing this? I'm not sure that the port map
is relevant for a virtual device? I have attached the dmesg output for
your review.
Things look fine to me but I think it's probably best to create a
separate port info entry for it. Is SIDPR available for IDER too?
