I doubt any Marvell docs would really be very helpful (except for
maybe an errata list but that likely would just tell us what we can
already figure out). The SATA controller part of the device seems to
just be issuing accesses with the wrong PCI function ID.

The only solution I can think of would be at the PCI/DMAR layer -
basically functions 0 and 1 on this device should be allowed to access
each other's DMA regions.
