NetBSD currently supports two S-ATA controllers:

	1. Silicon Image SATALink 3112

	2. Intel i31244 (only in PCI IDE mode, not the enhanced
	   "Direct Port Access" mode yet)

The latter is not really available in the market yet.

In terms of feature support, we don't really support the hot-swap 
features yet, nor do we support the overlapping commands in S-ATA.  
These features will come along later.
