I transferred a PERC5/i controller to my NAS system, which is using a 
Sapphire mini-ITX board with an AMD M350 CPU.

It seems the card is detected but driver initialisation fails:

mfi0: <Dell PERC 5/i> mem 0xd0000000-0xd000ffff,0xfea00000-0xfea1ffff 
irq 96 at device 14.0 on pci2

This would seem to be similar to discussions in November which 
eventually led to JHB committing change in r227580 (and perhaps earlier).

I have downloaded the sources for 9.0-RELEASE and it looks like this 
commit did not get back-ported to the release branch.

I'm a bit of a noob with FreeBSD.  The instructions for tracking 
FreeBSD-STABLE seem a bit scary.  Is that the only way that I would get 
the necessary fixes for the mfi driver?  (Indeed, would I get those on 
FreeBSD stable?)
