Ah.. Okay.

If your controller has ahci class code, you don't need to do anything.
If not, you'll need to add the PCI ID to the device id table in ahci.c.
 If the controller needs some quirks, you'll also need to add device id
entry and set its driver data to the appropriate board id (board_ahci_*).
