💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: whenever you gotta poke at the AHCI host registers outside of the normal execution paths, you call this function first. why? because it makes sure the host is actually powered on. no cap, that's it, that's the whole job. like, you wouldn't walk into a dark room and start rearranging furniture, right? same energy. 🕯️✨

call it. it powers the host on. then go do your register thing. iconic behaviour only. 👑
