After some research, the SATA controller is a Silicon Images
3112, supported by the sata_sil driver. The main board is actually 
an MSI offering (MS-7093), a/k/a "RS480M2-IL" or "K8T Neo-FIS2R".
Google knows everything...

# modprobe sata_sil
# dmesg
[...]
ata1: SATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xFFFFC200100E2080 ctl 0xFFFFC200100E208A bmdma 
0xFFFFC200100E2000 irq 217
