Are there controllers which *can* handle such a mix (ahci, sil24 ?)

Yeap, sil24 can. ahci can currently only do device based switching but ahci 2.0 can do it too.

So it looks like a I need a .qc_defer() function which examines all links from the common host port for activity, and then asks for command deferral when the new command has a different protocol than those that are outstanding.

Weird that none of the other LLDs need this.  Or do they?

So, none of the others needs this.

Mmm.. I just plugged the same PM + drives into my sata_sil24 card here,
and that driver went bonkers when I did the same test.

Had to reboot eventually to recover.

Weird.
