    ahci: Add support for Cavium's ThunderX host controller · b7ae128d
    Robert Richter authored
    This patch adds support for Cavium's ThunderX host controller. The
    controller resides on the SoC and is a AHCI compatible SATA controller
    with one port, compliant with Serial ATA 3.1 and AHCI Revision 1.31.
    There can exists multiple SATA controllers on the SoC.
    
    The controller depends on MSI-X support since the PCI ECAM controller
    on the SoC does not implement MSI nor lagacy intx interrupt support.
    Thus, during device initialization, if MSI fails MSI-X will be used to
    enable the device's interrupts.
    
    The controller uses non-standard BAR0 for its register range. The
    already existing device lookup (vendor and device id) that is already
    implemented for other host controllers is used to change the PCI BAR.
