I'm having a hard time to grasp the question. AHCI is basically the spec to specific implementations. ICH9 implements AHCI, just like Nehalem implements x86. There are other chips out there that also implement AHCI. As long as we don't need any other, I don't think it'd make sense to add more AHCI consumers, but I certainly don't want to block the road in case someone needs it. There are AHCI implementations for ARM for example. Didn't the Calxeda guys hack on something there?
