SP3 includes AHCI drivers?

I was wondering if Windows XP SP3 will have AHCI support included so that
slipstreaming this service pack will remove the need for using a floppy with
SATA/AHCI drivers.

This is the link to what's new or changed in SP3:

I've heard conflicting reports on this matter. Some say yes but I
cannot find anything in the white papers.

There isn't a plan to add new SATA drivers to XP SP3
