Most likely it needs them - because the reason to exist for SATA compatibility registers is to allow a so-called Index Data Pair (IDP) mechanism, that simplifies AHCI register access for real-mode software.

No, this controller is AHCI-only.

It's not a real problem, may use another machine - it's just a bit inconvenient.
