I don't think this patch is correct, for a couple of reasons:
* Do you know if this SATA controller is actually based on the
i31244 SATA chip (Artisea)? If it is not, then you should not
be using artisea_chip_map.
* If you're using artisea_chip_map, then why did you add cases for
the 82801ER in the piixide channel setup routine?
