On certain configurations (certain macbooks), even though all the

actually reading those registers just returns 0 and have no effect on
write.  Verify SIDPR is actually working before enabling it.

This is reported by Ryan Roth in bz#10512.

Apple did another weird thing with ich8m in addition to the weird
lockup on second port enable and SIDPR causes drive misdetection.
This one probably should go to -stable too.

Thanks.
