No need to add sii3112 manually (unless you use -nodefaults) because 
that's created by default as the on board SATA is not emulated so 
otherwise there would be no SATA ports. I think the shortcut -hda/-hdb 
also work for HDD images, the similar -cdrom may not work due to not 
having ide1 only a single ide controller with two ports but could be that 
these shortcut options are deprecated now. (To make -cdrom work, maybe 
someone could implement sii3114 which has 4 ports?)

Don't be surprised if it does not work. I remember trying it before but I 
think I had problems with u-boot which needed a fix from newer version 
that I've backported but that broke something else that's when I've 
implemented sii3112 instead which works in all guests without problems. (I 
think these bugs also present on real hardware but I don't have that to 
check.) But I forgot the details. I think I've described this in one of my 
previous messages on this list last year.
