Some background to how Marvell ended up on an all Intel board:

ICH8 (i965) doesn't have IDE ports, only SATA.  Except nobody sells SATA
optical drives;  so at the last minute Intel hacked into somebody else's
(Marvell's) legacy IDE controller so that people can still use CD/DVD drives
and the whole setup has ...some issues.
