The only guidance the AHCI specification gives on memory access is: "Register accesses shall have a maximum size of 64-bits; 64-bit access must not cross an 8-byte alignment boundary."
In practice, a real Q35/ICH9 responds to 1, 2, 4 and 8 byte reads regardless of alignment. Windows 7 can also be observed making 1 byte reads to the middle of 32 bit registers. Introduce a wrapper to supper unaligned accesses to AHCI. This wrapper will support aligned 8 byte reads, but will make no effort to support unaligned 8 byte reads, which although they will work on real hardware, are not guaranteed to work and do not appear to be used by either Windows or Linux.
