I think the problem may be:

                cpi->max_lun = 7;

That's from line 3590 in rev 1.63 of mpt_cam.c.  (i.e. -current)

I ran into the same problem a few days ago in RELENG_7, but hadn't gotten
around to sending email about it yet.

The symptom I was having is all the LUNs on the target wouldn't probe
automatically.  I could rescan them manually, but CAM would stop probing at
7.

I fixed it by setting max_lun to 1024.  (Not sure if anything would break
if I actually got that high, but my target was only setup for 79 LUNs.)
