Probably not. I noted this when I originally filed the PR for 
linux-megacli2, but the 1.x, 2.x, and 4.x versions support dramatically 
different hardware lines.

As an example, this native version is 4.x and does not support the Dell 
PERC5.

IMO, linux-megacli, linux-megacli2, and megacli should all exist as 
independent ports.
