Intel ICH5 SATA on 5.1

[Nick H.]

Oddly enough, somehow this box was running on a 5.1-REL kernel and world to
begin with.  (The SATA drive is the only drive in the box).  I dunno how
they pulled that one off, but updating to 5.2.1-p1 is running fine for now.
I did see that ICH5 was supported by ata under 5.2.1 but only up to ICH4 on
5.1.  Im still curious as to how they got the 5.1 kernel to work....
