Hi,

although the patch made my system recognize the HBA, there were several
severe issues when actually using it: I experienced random reboots
during POST and several freezes during heavy I/O. Additionally the
system always failed to wake up from S3 when the HBA was plugged in.

I'm therefore going to return the card in a few days. You may still
consider merging the patch since it made my system at least recognize
the HBA after all.

Best regards

Alexander Kurtz
