You don't need "hardware support for maintaining the state".  The
configuration is stored on-disk, and the ata driver should discover it
at boot time.  ad_attach() in ata-disk.c (which is called for each
disk at boot time) calls ata_raiddisk_attach().  If the disk isn't
attached to a RAID controller, ata_raiddisk_attach() will look for a
Promise configuration block, which is what atacontrol creates by
default.
