Not sure if that's been committed by anyone yet. I have it pending - but its not urgent so with a release pending isn't going to get pushed in a hurry. Beyond that I've dug into it with another owner of the same board - the BIOS has hidden the device. Unfortunately the documentation for the chipset is quite explicit that while you can hide devices you cannot then unhide them again. It might be possible to do something by booting the system in compatible mode and beating the controller into AHCI + PATA mode but really what is needed is a BIOS fix.
