mpt.4: Warn about unexpected behaviour on older controllers

Browse Source 
Older controllers have errata which causes the disk controller to wrap
data to other LBAs, causing data to be overwritten. [1]

While here, fix a small typo.

This support may be enabled by setting the desired role of the core via
the LSI Logic firmware utility that establishes what roles the card
can take on - no separate compilation is required.
.Sh WARNINGS
Most controllers supported by the
.Nm
driver suffer from limitations on supported disk size (mostly <2TB).
While most controllers will truncate usable disk size, others might
behave unexpetedly and can cause severe data loss.
Refer to the datasheet of the chipset and firmware version for information
about supported disk size and limitations.
