damnit.  I guess I got it backwards.  

mega_sas and 1078 
  are x86-only,
  need lsiutil/MegaCli/whatever blob and 
  use LSI-labeled disks that don't move between controllers easily, 
  but driver comes with source.

mpt and 1068 
  are x86/sparc, 
  use plain moveable disks not LSI RAID0's,
  but have a proprietary driver.  

I'm sorry---I'm only making it worse.
