On SAS, this number can't really be calculated, since the maximum number of SATA devices which can possibly be cabled to a SAS adapter, particularly with SAS expanders, is a very large number and is not practical for how this is being used in the current implementation. My guess is that aic94xx will have similar issues/concerns.
