Hmm, the ICH8 chip does both SATA and PATA  - I'm surprised they don't
show up as separate PCI entities, but as they don't, I think you need
some ICH8-specific utility to tell you whether a device is connected as
PATA or SATA.  

Wild guess - maybe there is something in the ata_piix driver that'll
help you?
