Comment out the following two lines in ata_ahci_dmainit():

         if (ATA_INL(ctlr->r_res2, ATA_AHCI_CAP) & ATA_AHCI_CAP_64BIT)
             ch->dma->max_address = BUS_SPACE_MAXADDR;

And you will not use 64bit DMA even if the chipset supports it.  
However I have not seen any chipsets supporting this fail, YMMV as  
usual :)
