+ libata.force= [LIBATA] Force configurations. The format is comma
+ separated list of "[ID:]VAL" where ID is
+ PORT[:DEVICE]. PORT and DEVICE are decimal numbers
+ matching port, link or device. Basically, it matches
+ the ATA ID string printed on console by libata. If
+ the whole ID part is omitted, the last PORT and DEVICE
+ values are used. If ID hasn't been specified yet, the
+ configuration applies to all ports, links and devices.
+
+ If only DEVICE is omitted, the parameter applies to
+ the port and all links and devices behind it. DEVICE
+ number of 0 either selects the first device or the
+ first fan-out link behind PMP device. It does not
+ select the host link. DEVICE number of 15 selects the
+ host link and device attached to it.
+
+ The VAL specifies the configuration to force. As long
+ as there's no ambiguity shortcut notation is allowed.
+ For example, both 1.5 and 1.5G would work for 1.5Gbps.
+ The following configurations can be forced.
+
+ * Cable type: 40c, 80c, short40c, unk, ign or sata.
+ Any ID with matching PORT is used.
+
+ * SATA link speed limit: 1.5Gbps or 3.0Gbps.

+ * Transfer mode: pio[0-7], mwdma[0-4] and udma[0-7].
+ udma[/][16,25,33,44,66,100,133] notation is also
+ allowed.
+
+ * [no]ncq: Turn on or off NCQ.

+ If there are multiple matching configurations changing
