The problem is that when the M5229 is embedded into an M1543, the
PCI IRQ is ignored, and the IRQ is routed directly into the ISA-PIC
in the M1543. This routing is done via a different set of configuration
registers, so that each channel can have its own IRQ.
This means that in pci-native mode, there is no pcidev.irq field set,
as there is no PCI IRQ setup. Alan Cox has stated that this is too
broken to be worked around in libata.
