You can't currently relax the restrictions, they're in the driver.

In the meantime re-cable your drives to the motherboard controller
and install (I'm betting it does have an on-board controller which
you've diabled). After that it's a one-line change to the driver
to add your controller, recompile the kernel, move the drives back
to the add-in card and reboot. I hope.
