    src/southbridge/amd/sb700: Reset SATA controller in AHCI mode during startup
    
    In AHCI mode SeaBIOS randomly fails to detect disks (AHCI timeouts),
    with the probability of a failure increasing with the number of disks
    connected to the controller.  Resetting the SATA controller appears to
    show the true state of the underlying hardware, allowing the drive
    detection code to attempt link renegotiation as needed.
