No, mpt fusion is not for megaraid controllers.    The megasr driver is
the "software raid" driver stack over mpt fusion controller,  which is
closed source, you should contact the megaraid team to get the entire
driver.   The megaraid team also have their own bios to be used with
these controllers, this bios will create a default raid volume when no
one is present, thus corrupting the data,  hense you don't want to use
the mpt fusion drivers for that megaraid controller.  The megasas driver
is full hardware raid solution, like raid levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and
60.
