Hmmm... so, you're trying to load a proprietary driver but you're having problem because in-kernel ahci attaches to the driver? * If the driver is built-in, putting the proprietary driver before ahci in Makefile will make that driver probe before ahci. * If module, ahci can be unbound by echoing the PCI bus ID to /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ahci/unbind and then bind that to the proprietary driver. * Or you can tell pci-stub driver do grab the PCI ID so that ahci doesn't probe it at all. Once the proprietary driver becomes available, the device can be rebound to the driver.
