The controllers look to all intents and purposes just like regular ATA
controllers (unless you want to initialise them from scratch), so there's
not much to do other than make sure the controller is recognised by the
driver. There's one there alraeady:
devi% grep SATA /sys/src/9/pc/sdata.c
case (0x3149<<16)|0x1106: /* VIA VT8237 SATA/RAID */
devi%
and it has on it
devi# cat /dev/sdC0/ctl
inquiry ST380013AS
config 0C5A capabilities 2F00 dma 00550040 dmactl 00550040 rwm 16 rwmctl 0 lba48always off
geometry 156301488 512 16383 16 63
part data 0 156301488
