Support for Promise SX4060

[Tulio Guimarães da Silva]

  This chip is the same used on SX150-M, which we have here at work.
  In 5.4 we had no success at all with RAID, and did not try JBOD, but 
as far as I could get from the lists, it´s now supported on RELENG_6, 
except for RAID-5, but I believe it´s just a matter of time. ;)
