    Heh.  Actually it didn't quite work.  The ATA driver picked it up.
    The ATA driver does have support for the 3124 but it isn't as advanced
    as the SILI driver.  You won't get hotswap or NCQ, for example.  If
    you want to experiment please try adding the PCI ID entry to the SILI
    driver and see if it can probe it.  If it can it will take precedence
    over the ATA probe of the same device.
