I think problem may be different in your case.  The HBA still reports
that command is not completed by the device.  Unfortunately I don't have
those fancy drives to try, but I'll try to reproduce it with regular CD
drive when I get back home after short New Year holidays.

I believe it is bhyve bug, since these values are just what hardware
reports.  BAR size of 512 bytes indeed does not align to 4K, but that is
not our problem. :)

Please don't mix multiple unrelated questions in one email.

There is very little reasonable external AHCI controllers on the market
now.  I am not sure anything other then Marvell and ASmedia were
released at all in last years since 6Gbps SATA came out.  Marvell and
ASmedia probably worth each other, while later Marvell may be slightly
better on functionality (number of ports and FBS PMP support), but they
are both desktop products.  If you need this in server environment --
think about about SAS adapter like LSI.  Or just use on-board Intel
AHCI, since they are probably the best om reliability you may get out of
SATA.
