Jon Li was one of the people who started porting Linux to the Marvell
Orion 88F5182 before Marvell did it. sata_mv does now work on the
device Jon was talking about. When this was sent I think we were
unsure whether it could work over PCI or just the system bus which
probably confused things a little.
