It's working fine.  (ata6) and (ata7) appear, but (ata0) and (ata1)
doesn't.  When inserting ata.mod, I get:

error: error reading ATA IDENTIFY data
error: error reading ATA IDENTIFY data

That must be the "ghost devices".  While it would be nice to get rid of
such messages, I'm fine if your patch is committed as is.
