The A20 supports PMP, just remove the Flag AHCI_HFLAG_NO_PMP in the sunxi 
ahci driver. 
Please take a look in the Manual of the A20 (6.15.1). The SATA interface 
has the following specification:
Comply with SATA Spec. 2.6, and AHCI Revision 1.3 specifications

This includes the PMP support.

We are using a Marvel PMP and it works fine - both disks are detected and 
work.

Regards

Tobias
