Public bug reported:

Sometime between trusty and xenial, CONFIG_SATA_HIGHBANK was changed
from y to m. I believe the change was in utopic, but it's hard to tell.

This makes booting on Calxeda Highbank systems pretty difficult since
you can't get to the root filesystem on a SATA disk unless you were
smart enough to have initramfs-tools include the sata_highbank module.
On a clean install, you'd need to know to drop out of the installer, and
rebuild the initramfs appropriately.

Any chance that could be changed back to y for armhf?

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
