Are you sure that you have verbose messages enabled during boot or via 
sysctl? It looks a bit too quiet.

RELENG_7 branch ATA maintenance is a bit difficult for me now due to big 
differences from the HEAD. It makes me wish to sync them as there is 
still too much time before 7.x EOL. May be I will do it after the 7.2 
release process finished. Now is probably not the best time to do it.
