One thing that has come out of further discussion on this - ACPI defines 
a _CLS object, which allows ACPI devices to declare compatibility with a 
PCI class device. We don't have support for it at the moment, but it 
would be easy enough to add this to the kernel and then just expose the 
AHCI PCI class via _CLS. That would avoid us having problems with people 
doing similar things with USB hosts.
