Thanks for the patch, but I prefer to specify modules in a more general
way rather than building up long lists.  What I think we should do here
is to add all the ahci* modules to sata-modules (instead of just ahci).

Bug#860335: linux: [armhf] ahci_mvebu module is missing from sata-modules udeb

Hi,

The sata-modules udeb on armhf is missing the "ahci_mvebu" module. This
prevents, e.g., installing Debian to an mSATA SSD installed in a Marvell
Armada 385 SoC based system like the Turris Omnia.

I was able to complete an install using the d-i stretch rc3 release
after manually copying ahci_mvebu.ko to the running installer
environment and modprobe'ing it, so I think the attached patch will fix
this problem. (See #860286 for the installation report.)

Thanks!
