It is a behavior change but difficult to characterize as a breakage,
given that we do want userland to treat ports explicitly marked as
external to be treated as such.  That said, eSATA being mostly a
fringe thing, we can go "whatever" and revert it.

Let's hope it's a false positive that the patch can fix.

Thanks.
