Espressobin has one on-board SATA port which is connected directly to CPU.
More SATA disks can be connected via mPCIe add-in card with PCIe-SATA
controller.
So enable required SATA AHCI PCIe drivers in defconfig file.

PCIe-based NVMe SSD disks in M.2 2230/2242/2260 form-factor can be
connected to Turris Omnia mPCIe slot via passive M.2 <--> mPCIe adapter.
So enable PCIe NVMe drivers.
