[9fans] ahci and intel gbe

[erik quanstrom]

i'm quite happy to report that this new haswell hardware worked the first time
with nix 64 bit.  the ahci stuff should "just work" due to the standard, but the
i210 gbe was entered speculatively, and it's pretty nice that it just seems to
work.

so don't let 'em tell you "plan 9 only works with older hardware".  :-)

what motherboard and model did you use. it would be good to buy something known to work.

 I am afraid have had less success with 9atom on old hardware.

I bought a Supermicro X10SAE motherboard last year.
It uses the same Intel i210 Ethernet controller as
Erik's new motherboard. It works quite nicely.

supermicro x10-slr-f-o

look for the x10-slr.  the -f is for ipmi (boo) and i don't know
what the -o stands for because it wasn't on the website.

here's the interesting dmi bit:

1: type sysinfo 1 len 27 handle 1
	mfg         	Supermicro
	product     	X10SRL-F
	version     	0123456789
	serial      	0123456789
	uuid        	000000000000000000000CC47A328DA4
	waketype    	powersw (0x6)
	sku         	To be filled by O.E.M.
	family      	<nil>

note the extreme care supermicro takes with their dmi info.

-O is retail and -B is bulk, as far as I understand Supermicro's
nomenclature.
