There's actually an awful lot of other cruft besides this that can come
out of the driver (inquiry snooping leaps to mind).

Yes, OK.

I'll defer to LSI on this one. We can't attach the transport classes in
this case ... which is what I do. But on the other hand, LSI didn't do
DV in this case either, so the current situation is identical to what we
had previously.
But yes, this type of situation seems quite common. The fusion card HP
sent me initially had this problem, and it does seem to be possible to
upgrade all the problem cards, so reporting the issue and recommending
an upgrade seems to be a good approach.
