Peter,

I'm running UFS and no RAID, so yes that likely explains why my systems
hangs as it loses its boot disk.  The controller itself resets on some less
common occasions, so if you see that ever, I'll bet your system would hang
too as it looses all root devices.

I have the official 8.2-RELEASE driver from LSI I'll be testing today to
see if I can reproduce the hangs.
