Add of ahci support require new -device parameters, I tried the change 
also all other cases to have the same.
Is there also rare case of possible problem using old parameters on part 
of things (disks, network, audio and older usb if I remember good) but I 
not remember the example case, was found by another user.
With this patch I'm trying to maintan full compatibility but probably 
there is something that I don't know that must be changed or may changes 
with this.
