The Marvell 88SX5080 device is a PCI/PCI-X to Serial ATA (SATA)
host controller with expansion ROM interface. Based upon the SATA
interface specification, the 88SX5080 device provides solutions for
designs based on chipsets that do not integrate a SATA host controller.
With the expansion ROM interface, the 88SX5080device enables the
88SX5080 add-in cards to boot from the host controller.
