They're complimentary.  The transport class provides the topology and
service layers for all SAS hosts.  libsas provides additional helpers
and services for the actual protocol management needed on thinner
firmware cards like the aic94xx.  So, either you use scsi_transport_sas
only (for a fat firmware card) or you use both scsi_transport_sas and
libsas (for a thinner firmware card).
