[issue1412] sysutils/smartmontools doesn't work with ahci(4)

[Hasso Tepper (via DragonFly issue tracker)]

New submission from Hasso Tepper <hasso at estpak.ee>:

sysutils/smartmontools doesn't work with devices attached to ahci(4), using 
nata(4) works fine. Cheating and specifying device type doesn't help either:

$ sudo smartctl -a /dev/da0
