AHCI is definitely enabled for all kernels.
Its also statically compiled into all kernels as well:

# cd /usr/src/linux-3.8.1-1.mga3/arch/x86/configs
# grep SATA_AHCI *

i386_defconfig:CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y
i386_defconfig-desktop:CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y
i386_defconfig-desktop:CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM=y
i386_defconfig-desktop586:CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y
i386_defconfig-desktop586:CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM=y
i386_defconfig-server:CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y
i386_defconfig-server:CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM=y
x86_64_defconfig:CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y
x86_64_defconfig-desktop:CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y
x86_64_defconfig-desktop:CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM=y
x86_64_defconfig-server:CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y
x86_64_defconfig-server:CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM=y

(If any were modular, they be set to 'm')
