According to the upstream release notes ... this is supposed to be fixed
on 4.4 

From rom the kernel changelog and release notes:

-amd74xx: add pci ids for Nvidia MCP51
-Update 4 adds Nvidia nForce 430/MCP51 IDE support

-------------------------
It would be a PITA to add this support to the bootable CD/DVD if it is
not already there.

If you are already installed and just need to get the module to start on
bootup, just making sure that /etc/modprobe.conf has the right things
should work unless there is something required in /dev (maybe a udev
rule).
