I've asked for volunteers to help test things on those original bug
reports (and may have one already) and would appreciate any suggested
debugging approaches from those more experienced with SATA/AHCI. What
would be your first few suggested debugging steps?

Non-LPM boot:
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0x50202000 port 0x50202100 irq 145
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0x50202000 port 0x50202180 irq 145
ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
ata1: SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 133 SControl 300)

LPM failed boot:
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0x50202000 port 0x50202100 irq 145
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0x50202000 port 0x50202180 irq 145
ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 4 SControl 300)
ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 4 SControl 300)

note SStatus=4 on both ports  (means "PHY in offline mode"?)
