I tried setting `options ATA_CAM` but that didn't fix the problem. I still got
continuous ATA error messages spewed out while probing the ATA devices. I'm
not able to capture the verbose output as the system never successfully boots
and I don't have a serial console attached to the system.

For now, I plan to stay with the previous version of ata-intel.c since this is
my gateway system and I need for it to 'just work'.  :(
