Well there are (have been) mainboards using the IDE interface for accessing devices and / or mainboards with chipsets that do not support AHCI.^^
Those controller that are not supported natively by OS X (AMD/ATI, SiS, VIA, nForce etc) of course need some extra kext driver.

When in AHCI mode your ATA controller has a different device ID then in IDE mode & that kext would not even getting loaded.

...forgot to mention; that kext should work for Snow Leopard as well...

AMD FX 4100
MSI 760GM-P23
Radeon HD6570
OS X Lion Retail 10.7.5
Lion Kernel Project
