How are people that load aacraid in their initrd going to boot
after
this?

I updated smartpqi/Kconfig and added
Documentation/scsi/smartpqi.txt to
inform users of the
need to configure the smartpqi driver moving forward for aacraid
Series 9
controllers.

Hope this helps.
That's not going to be enough: this ID has been in the aacriad driver
since 2011.  That means anyone who finally gets hold of one of these
new cards but uses a distro that doesn't have the new smartpqi driver
will be attached via the aacraid one.

Given that the life times of enterprise distributions is two years and
you're releasing this smartpqi soon, the overlap is unavoidable.

We can make sure that we mention the need to enable the smartpqi
driver in the documentation provided/posted for these new controllers
otherwise the aacraid driver will not be able to fully support the new
controller features.
