In addition to the typical pci attachment, the
|

.Nm
|
||||
driver supports attaching to a
|
||||
.Xr ahci 4
|
||||
device.
|
||||
Intel's Rapid Storage Technology (RST) hides the nvme device
|
||||
behind the AHCI device due to limitations in Windows.
|
||||
However, this effectively hides it from the
|
||||
.Fx
|
||||
kernel.
|
||||
To work around this limitation,
|
||||
.Fx
|
||||
detects that the AHCI device supports RST and when it is enabled.
