Yes, those are just two different version of the AHCI driver. And you
don't need either of them to boot, since AHCI is only one option for
accessing IDE drives. On my systems that predate AHCI/SATA, for
example, I just use the legacy interface:
CONFIG_ATA_SFF=y
CONFIG_ATA_BMDMA=y
CONFIG_SATA_NV=y
But if AHCI is available, then obviously I'm going to use that instead.
