Looks like it is broken for a while - "_sym_calloc2: failed to allocate HCB"
is always there... 

And... Looks like Gerard Roudier havn't more interest in maintaining this
driver - there is the second generation of the original driver into linux
source three since 2001, which is newer ported to FreeBSD by the author. And
FreeBSD hooks was removed from the driver code...

May be it is a time to port siop(4) from NetBSD?
