Unfortunately, the driver isn't, thanks to drift between v2 and v3 of
the mpt_sas code bases.  This patch is also dangerous: the early
versions left unremoved objects lying around, so  getting some stress
testing from avago is very useful.  At this point in the cycle, the risk
vs reward of doing a blind upport to mpt3_sas is just too great and the
time for review and stress testing too limited within the merge window.
