If the ahci/ata maintainers insist, we can add that.

I don't mind whether it is CONFIG_ARM64 or something more specific but
I think it's a good idea to gate it some way.

Already posted a V3, could you please comment on that.

Thanks,

If at all possible, please write plain arguments.

Should we also add some CONFIG_ variables for:

ahci_mcp89_apple_enable()
ahci_sb600_enable_64bit()
ahci_p5wdh_workaround()

And I think these should be gated behind CONFIG_X86. The lack of
gating is historic, not intentional.

Thanks.
