Dan (on Cc) posted some patches to support the awkwared so called
"RAID" mode (it really should be Intel landgrab mode) in the client
chipsets more than a year ago.

It needed a bit of a rework to be present as a fake PCIe root port
instead of the platform driver magic, so I wonder what happened to
it - Dan any chance to get back to it?
