I think this trick only works on pci mass storage controllers
which has subclasses PCI_MASS_SATA (Serial ATA,
pciclass,0106) or PCI_MASS_OTHER (Other Mass Storage
Controller, pciclass,0180).
You controller uses PCI_MASS_RAID (RAID Controller).
It might be possible to use that -B pci-ide="pci1103,4"
workaround in snv_94 or newer; a recent putback for bug
5031620 "Some cards based upon the SiL 680(A) ATA
controller won't bind due to a hardware lie" has changed
the program logic to first check for the pci-ide property,
and only after that reject non PCI_MASS_OTHER /
PCI_MASS_SATA controllers....
