Promise TX2 SATA controllers

[Jean-Francois Dockes]

Just in case it may help someone (this information is not very easily
accessible in the archives):

 - I have a Promise TX2 controller with a PCI ID of 0x3375105a . It works
   for me in 4.10 by adding the new PCI ID everywhere that you'll find the
   other/old one (0x3371105a) in the patch (see next paragraph) or kernel
   source under dev/ata. Don't blame me if you lose your data, I will not
   take responsibility, but this is weakly supported by the the two
   controllers appearing to be handled just the same in -current.

 - (Reminder) The 'old' TX2 SATA promise controllers can be used in
   FreeBSD 4.10/4-STABLE by patching the kernel source. The patch can be
   found at:
     http://www.ambrisko.com/doug/ata/
   See
   http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2004-March/006791.html
   for the annoucement message. The patch file is now named
   ata_stable_sata_5.patch, not xx_2.patch.
