ibexpeak / bd82x6x: Make SATA mode user-visible option.
Ability to choose compatibility mode is interesting for testing payloads and OS for compatibility with older systems.
As per comments "ide_legacy_combined # TODO: Does nothing since generations, remove from sb code?" The "combined" mode was removed. It wasn't used by any mobo and the code for it is almost identical to IDE one other than few bits relating to interrupt handling and ISA mode.
