 Okay, I didn't look through the archives to see if anyone already done 
 the work once. I just noticed the section missing when someone filed a 
 PR about no devices supported by ata(4) was present in the hardware 
 notes. I am also not sure if I really like the long list that I've made 
 in the hardware section, I just didn't know a better way to do it and 
 get them generated properly in the hardware notes. Maybe we should just 
 add the list manually in the hardware notes. I think we should have the 
 supported chipsets listed somewhere though, so you know what piece of 
 hardware you should buy.

 That sounds reasonable.
