Anyone working on adding support for SYMBIOS MEGARAID 3108 (0x1000/0x005d)

which also supports the MEGARAID 2208 (0x1000/0x005b). In NetBSD, the
mfi(4) driver was extended to support the 2208 (Thunderbolt) rather than
adding a new driver. The 3008/3108 will require another MFI_IOP type
(OpenBSD call it 25).

I have a system with this on the motherboard, but I'm dropping an lsi
9261-i8 in
because the newer cards are not supported. My vendor has told me that
the 9261 is near EOL,
so it would be really helpful if someone could add support for the newer LSI
cards. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience in this area.
Shouldn't be too hard to do... As long someone has a card to test...

One of our customer systems (Dell PowerEdge R730) has this card. I got
it to work by adding the pciids to the driver and crudely adjusting the
thunderbolt support to use EOM markers, remove the setting of a flag.
I/O seemed to be working (installation was ok and the system was running
fine. Issues left were: Absysmal I/O performance on SSDs (no non SSDs
were available) in the range of 5 - 40 Mb/sec averaging around 20
Mb/sec. Checking other OS delivered: FreeBSD 10 - 5 MB/sec, OpenBSD 420
Mb/sec slowly decreasing. Linux SuSe 13.2 - 525-490 MB/sec. So due to
time constraints and a customer machine we went for the fastest. Patches
(mis-using the MFI_IOP type for thunderbolt) have been postedalready.
OpenBSD seems to have an additional change in the way i/o commands are
handled.
