As noted, it's both PATA and SATA. People searching for PATA-only PIIX
support may have trouble locating it under SATA.

Why not remove ATA SFF support visual option (or leave it for optional
off-tree drivers only, if it makes sense) and SELECT it when any
driver using it is selected? I'm not sure that users know they need
SFF, or what's that.

I think I would also ask for PATA and for SATA first:

[*] PATA support
[*] SATA support
... PATA drivers if "PATA support" is selected
... SATA drivers if "SATA support" is selected
... PIIX is PATA and/or SATA support is selected

I guess all PATA and/or SATA drivers in a single sorted list (so PIIX
doesn't break ordering).
