... and one testing it under OpenSolaris:

doesn't appear to work.

I'm quite happy so far with my LSI cards, which replaced a couple of
the Supermicro Marvell cards:

# scanpci
...
pci bus 0x0007 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x1000 device 0x0058
 LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS

The Linux support for the 6480 builds on the 6440 mvsas support, so I don't
think marvell88sx would work, and there doesn't seem to be a Marvell SAS
driver for Solaris at all, so I'd say it's not supported.
http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1397855 has a fair few people
testing it out, but mostly under Windows.
