Yes, the 'getencstat' example does connect to it.
However, these utilities don't really do anything useful as
far as I can tell, they're more starting points. I'm guessing
the gem has modepages that can be decoded.

I'd like to be able to detect when a disk goes bad, or 
a fan, etc, and hook this up to a notification.

The smartmontools package connects to the raid controller (ASR),
but the raid controller hides all the drives, so that doesn't
really help. The asr-utils don't work anymore, so i can't
see my drive status that way, so i'm looking @ the ses part.
