This driver supports the low and high precision models (9 and 11 bits) and
it will auto-detect the both variants.
The driver expose the temperature registers (actual temperature, shutdown
and hysteresys temperature) and also the configuration register.
It was tested on FDT systems: RPi, BBB and on non-FDT systems: AR71xx, with
both, hardware i2c controllers (when available) and gpioiic(4).
This provides a simple and cheap way for verifying the i2c bus on embedded
systems.
cards. LSI has been maintaining this driver outside of the FreeBSD
tree. It overlaps support of ThunderBolt and Invader cards that mfi(4)
supports. By default mfi(4) will attach to cards. If the tunable:
hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=1
is set then mfi(4) will not probe and attach to these newer cards and
allow mrsas(4) to attach. So by default this driver will not effect
a FreeBSD system unless mfi(4) is removed from the kernel or the
tunable is enabled.
mrsas(4) attaches disks to the CAM layer so it depends on CAM and devices
show up as /dev/daX. mfiutil(8) does not work with mrsas. The FreeBSD
version of MegaCli and StorCli from LSI do work with mrsas. It appears
that StorCli only works with mrsas. MegaCli appears to work with mfi(4)
and mrsas(4).
It would be good to add mfiutil(4) support to mrsas, emulations modes,
kernel logging, device aliases to ease the transition between mfi(4)
and mrsas(4).
Style issues should be resolved by LSI when they get committers approved.
The plan is get this driver in FreeBSD 9.3 to improve HW support.
Thanks to LSI for developing, testing and working with FreeBSD to
make this driver co-exist in FreeBSD. This improves the overall
support of MegaRAID SAS.

This is derived from the mps(4) driver, but it supports only the 12Gb
IT and IR hardware including the SAS 3004, SAS 3008 and SAS 3108.
Some notes about this driver:
o The 12Gb hardware can do "FastPath" I/O, and that capability is included in
this driver.
o WarpDrive functionality has been removed, since it isn't supported in
the 12Gb driver interface.
o The Scatter/Gather list handling code is significantly different between
the 6Gb and 12Gb hardware. The 12Gb boards support IEEE Scatter/Gather
lists.
Thanks to LSI for developing and testing this driver for FreeBSD.

Relnotes: LSI 12Gb SAS driver mpr(4) added
lindev(4) was only used to provide /dev/full which is now a standard feature of
FreeBSD. /dev/full was never linux-specific and provides a generally useful
feature.
Document this in UPDATING and bump __FreeBSD_version. This will be documented
in the PH shortly.

It exposes I/O resources to user space, so that programs can peek
and poke at the hardware. It does not itself have knowledge about
the hardware device it attaches to.

NetFPGA-10G Embedded CPU Ethernet Core.
The current version operates on a simple PIO based interface connected
to a NetFPGA-10G port.
To avoid confusion: this driver operates on a CPU running on the FPGA,
e.g. BERI/mips, and is not suited for the PCI host interface.

As part of this, install the tests(7) manual page unconditionally (not only
when WITH_TESTS=yes) so that users that have not yet enabled the build of
the test suite can read details on how to do so.
