>Environment:
I have verified this port on multiple 6.X-era systems, up to and including 6.4, on multiple controllers, including:
<LSILogic PERC 4/DC> Firmware 351X, BIOS 1.10, 128MB RAM
<LSILogic PERC 4e/Si> Firmware 521X, BIOS H430, 256MB RAM
<LSILogic PERC 4e/Di> Firmware 5B2D, BIOS H435, 256MB RAM

>Description:
	Update does two things:
	* Reverts PR ports/128082
	* Assigns maintainership to my coworker (who maintains this port in our company)

	Rational:
	ports/128082 should never have been commited:
	* The problem was only reported on a single machine (could be a hardware bug)
	* The problem was only reported against a prerelease version of FreeBSD
	* We are using this port in the manner described in that PR on over 20 machines for over 2 years with no problems.

	Overall, I'm a little disapointed in the handling of that PR, as additional feedback was never requested, and the original PR could have dozens of causes unrelated to the port itself.

	However, in the event of a maintainer timeout, it's understandable that something had to be done.

	As a result, I'm fixing both issues: We can verify that the port _does_ work, and we're willing to take over and actively maintain the port.

>How-To-Repeat:
	See notes for PR ports/128082
