As I said, we're lacking an IRQ pin in the PCI configuration space of
the SATA controler, not in the OF tree (as you can see in the dump I
previously sent).
So, pci_read_irq_line returns 0 at the first test:
	if (intpin == 0) {
		PPCDBG(PPCDBG_BUSWALK,"\tDevice: %s No Interrupt used by device.\n",
		       pci_name(pci_dev));
		return 0;	
	}

So, taking it from the OF tree instead of PCI space, the same way it's
done for IDE, solves the problem.

Here you are... I also join a tarball of /proc/bus/pci so you can see
all PCI devices configuration space dumps.
