What about the Marvell 88SX5040 PCI-X SATA Controller?


Coming RSN. That's my next priority, but I'm not as thrilled because Marvell isn't an open design like AHCI. I'm much more happy to promote AHCI's sane, open design.


And what about the upcomming Promise SATAII150 SX8 PCI-X SATA Controller ?
Will it be based on an AHCI design ?


No, very different. And the driver for the SX8 has been in the upstream tree for a little while now too, if you missed it: "carmel"
