I run several LSI SAS2008 flashed into IT/HBA, which are reflashed Dell
Perc H310, with mps(4), on 11.1-*RELEASE* though. No problems so far.
The controllers actually work wonderfully. Has the driver changed in
STABLE in any way? What is the problem you're having?

Controller type                         : SAS2008
BIOS version                            : 0.00.00.00
Firmware version                        : 20.00.07.00
Channel description                     : 1 Serial Attached SCSI

mps0 at pci0:1:0:0: [...]
vendor     = 'LSI Logic / Symbios Logic'
device     = 'SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon]'
class      = mass storage
subclass   = SAS
