[Stas Orlov]

Hi,

We have a pack of identical Dell R610 mahcines with H200 cards.

pciconf from R610 with FreeBSD9 on ZFS, disks in JBOD mode.

mps0 at pci0:3:0:0:        class=0x010700 card=0x1f1e1028 chip=0x00721000
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'LSI Logic / Symbios Logic'
     device     = 'SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon]'
     class      = mass storage
     subclass   = SAS
     bar   [10] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0xfc00, size 256, enabled
     bar   [14] = type Memory, range 64, base 0xdf2b0000, size 65536,
enabled
     bar   [1c] = type Memory, range 64, base 0xdf2c0000, size 262144,
enabled
     cap 01[50] = powerspec 3  supports D0 D1 D2 D3  current D0
     cap 10[68] = PCI-Express 2 endpoint max data 128(4096) link x4(x8)
     cap 03[d0] = VPD
     cap 05[a8] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit
     cap 11[c0] = MSI-X supports 15 messages in map 0x14 enabled


We all aware of the state of things with the old mps driver, so I tried to
pass a hardware array with the new one.
Current snapshot from yesterday fails with following -
