RELEASE:  UnixWare 7 Definitive 2018 (D2M1)
          OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 (D2M1)
          
PROBLEM:  What is the ahci driver version 2.0b HBA for 
          OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 and UnixWare 7 Definitive 2018?
          
HARDWARE: All of the AHCI v1.3.1 Specification is fully supported with
          the exception port multipliers and power management.
             
SOLUTION: The ahci Driver provides the following device driver:

                ahci - SATA AHCI

          Version 1.1 of this driver adds support for compliant SATA 
          tape device.

          Version 1.2 fixes a problem where the ahci controller 
          assumes it is the primary/boot controller for the system
          when it is not resulting in a boot failure post ISL.

          Version 1.2.1 enables support on the bhyve hypervisor
          available on OpenServer 10 and other FreeBSD-based
          operating systems.

          Version 2.0 has the following improvements:
          
          - added support for virtualbox environments
          - fixed panic in virtual environments under heavy load
          - fixed detection of devices on newer chipsets such as the Intel C236 
          - ported to OpenServer 5 Definitive

          Version 2.0a has the following bug fixes:
          - fixed a panic when replacing a cartridge in a Dell PowerVault
            RD1000 Removable Disk Storage.  (The fix is to set correctly
            a return value.)
          - resolved an event registration issue as part of a fix to avoid
            a panic on start up when an empty Dell PowerVault RD1000
            Removable Disk Storage device is attached.

          Version 2.0b has the following bug fixes:
          - fix to avoid a system panic when running a virtual machine.
          - added additional supported controller IDs.

          This device driver should be installed via patchck and/or pkgadd
          after an ISL installation.
