To be perfectly honest, I don't understand why you (or anyone) would require
that. Why might *I* need that, for example?

As far as I'm aware, devices are probed and attached in the "right" order,
whatever that is. ahcisata(4) and siisata(4) don't depend on each other, so
whichever is found first is simply found first.

There really isn't any mechanism within the config(5) language to enforce device
attachment order, if that's what you're asking for. Unless I'm horrifically
mistaken.
