Implement an I/O space index-data register pair as defined by the AHCI

This allows real-mode code to access the AHCI registers; real-mode
code cannot address the memory-mapped register space because it is
beyond the first megabyte.
Very nice patch! I'll check and compare with a real ICH-9 when I get back to 
.de, but I'd assume you also did that already ;). Once I checked that the IO 
region is set up similarly, I'll give you my ack.
What's the status with review/testing of this patch, Alex? Is it ready
to be merged, should I drop it or do you just need some more time?

If you don't see regressions with it, I'd say we're good. I still don't have a validation program, but considering that it's a reasonably simple change and makes us more conforming to real hardware, I don't see why we shouldn't have it.
