Bah, that's why I always send patches for review.  Yes, the d_open
deletion was a typo.  Thanks for the update.

mfiutil doesn't seem to know how to deal with SYSPD (real JBOD) at this
time.  It only allows you to see the physical drives, nothing shows up
on the "show volumes" command.

From what I see the Dell H310 doing, there's not much there in the
system to do with the real JBOD devices.  I mean, there's no
creation/deletion or other RAID things to do here.
