As far as I can tell from the source, it's the very same driver (same
source code and copyright notices), only that Adaptec has taken over
development; fbsd has 2.1, Adaptec has continued development to a
version 2.4.

I'm not aware how licensing issues play in here, but apart from that, it
should be easy to patch this into base. (I was already half-way there
yesterday and I think I could work up a patch against HEAD and 8.x).
