Nope. I didn't think it was a particularly useful thing for the driver
to do, and I never got around to finishing the control utility. You
could try talking to Julian Elischer though, he's been tinkering with it
of late, and could probably give you some sample code.
Even then, the controller doesn't tell you anything about whether it's
talking to a backplane. I used to connect all the devices on the "real"
SCSI busses to CAM as well, but when I did this, talking to the backplane
killed the controller, so I turned that feature off. 8/
