Somewhat surprisingly, the onboard LSI chipset in the Sun 4100 is SAS
with the IME (Integrated Mirroring). It seems to work with MPT okay if
you let the BIOS finish the mirroring first.

Also, even more surprisingly, there are a few FC 929 cards floating
around that have the same IME capability. Haven't tested this out yet.
