I updated the firmware on this HBA to 20.00.04.00 and ran some stress 
tests - all looks fine after 4+ hours. I'm pretty certain that issues 
showed up long before that with 20.00.00.00 (ideally I'd like to retest 
that, but I don't have a stashed copy of that firmware).

To reiterate, this is with FreeBSD 9.3, and in this particular case the 
HBA is a 9205-8e.

I expect I'll get to re-test within the next few weeks with FreeBSD 
10.2. But for now it seems like firmware 20.00.04.00 has the previous 
problems fixed.
