The 88SE6440 driver :
The driver is based on bare code from Jeff Garzik. And it can work

By far, Can discover and find SAS HDD, but SATA is currently
unsupported. Command queue depth can be above 1.
Most error handling, and some phy handling code is notably missing.

Fantastic! I'm delighted to see this is moving, and thanks much for
getting the driver to that critical "it works" milestone.
We should note for the linux-scsi audience and potential testers that
the base driver upon which this is based is available on the "sas" branch of
git://git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/misc-2.6.git
I will give some substantive comments tomorrow (just got back from long
trip). Two quick suggestions:
1) To make it easier for people to review and test the driver, I would
suggest posting a diff against 2.6.24-rc7 (or 2.6.23), ignoring my
original code. Thus, it would result in a patch
2) In future patches, include a Signed-off-by: line when you are ready
for your patch to be included in the kernel.
Thanks!
Jeff
