LSI supported mps(4) driver available

Sorry for the swarm of screenshots :)

Spare drive should be a iDRAC Virtual usb.

On that particular machine, as I said, two RAID arrays (1 and 10)

http://oi39.tinypic.com/10hlfmg.jpg -- they initialized as they should.

http://oi43.tinypic.com/2db83g8.jpg -- loader recognizes 3 disks (3rd
one is the iDRAC usb as I suppose)

So, I flashed the FW and installed the latest one from Dell
(7.15.08.00 \ 7.03.05.00), and things have gone slightly better.

http://oi39.tinypic.com/69dtuq.jpg -- controller .

http://oi44.tinypic.com/10s6jxi.jpg -- still.

http://oi42.tinypic.com/ipmh37.jpg -- It boots in single user, in
multiuser it prints probe errors, skips them and hang on the daemon
startup.

http://oi43.tinypic.com/13yhz02.jpg -- in single user they
initialized\UFSed\mounted just fine.

To sum everything up, FW upgrade helped, still some device handle
errors and SCSI errors, hangs in multiuser-mode(may or may not be
related).

Tested with the same FreeBSD10-CURRENT r230857, I saw ken@'s commit to
-STABLE and will try it somewhere tomorrow.
Thanks for your time:)
