What does lspci -vv show for that board?

 Please see MIME attachment dc7280lspci-initialized.txt (for

It looks like that driver contains a binary blob so who knows what it is
actually doing internally.

 I am now done playing with ubuntu 12.04 and are going to dig a bit
deeper in using debian and a vanilla kernel.

Well, it looks like it doesn't claim compatibility with anything
standard like AHCI. If it's just a pure HBA with no hardware RAID,
etc. then I'm not sure exactly why there seems to be so much code in
the driver?
