I think I want to do the opposite. For 90% of the AHCI EM functions,
I want ecx_host_priv to be an ahci_host_priv so that I can use those
functions without having to keep a local copy of them.
Would something like this:
struct ahci_host_priv {
/* standard AHCI existing stuff */
void *private_data;
};
I shied away from that because a private data structure having a private
data structure doesn't seem right.

Okay.

Am I confused about the order of operations? It's meant to be "continue
if hpriv->em_msg_type doesn't have EM_MSG_TYPE_LED set".

For functions like ahci_save_initial_config, I just want to use the
already defined ahci_ functions with my extra data along for the ride.
What's the best way to do that?
