I'm now pretty sure the only hardware RAID adapters which *could* be usable
are based on the LSI 1078 chipset

At least 6 different cards are based on it:

- LSI MegaRAID SAS 8704ELP / 8708ELP
- LSI MegaRAID SAS 8704EM2 / 8708EM2
- LSI MegaRAID SAS 8880EM2
- LSI MegaRAID SAS 8888ELP

I should be able to test a MegaRAID SAS 8888ELP soon. It was not recognized last
year but Matt has since updated the mpt(4) driver.
