Subject: ahci: add support for the Promise FastTrak TX8660 SATA HBA (ahci
 mode)

commit b32bfc06aefab61acc872dec3222624e6cd867ed upstream.

Add support of the Promise FastTrak TX8660 SATA HBA in ahci mode by
registering the board in the ahci_pci_tbl[].

Note: this HBA also provide a hardware RAID mode when activated in
BIOS but specific drivers from the manufacturer are required in this
case.
