Adaptec SCSI RAID 2230SLP and 5.2.1-RELEASE

[Ray Gilstrap]

Hi Scott,

Okay, the system is up and running with the change that you committed.  
The kernel (5.3-STABLE) recognized the controller just fine and I was able 
to do fdisk/bsdlabel/newfs/mount on aacd0.

I haven't done any meaningful performance testing yet...  I had started 
playing with the (randomly chosen) Bonnie benchmark, but it reported 
strange numbers that are apparently an allergic reaction to the large 
amount of RAM in the machine.  Let me know if there are other tests that 
you'd like me to run.  In the meantime, just having the array (a 3-disk 
RAID 5) up and running is a great start.  Thanks again!
