SiI3124 support?

[Adriaan de Groot]

Has there been any progress on the SiI 3124 / 3132 family of SATA controllers? 
The most recent post I could find was the same question as this, posted 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2006-August/003695.html . 
There are Linux (GPL) and Solaris drivers (unknown); the Linux status page at 
http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html#sii3124 suggests that documentation 
was even forthcoming from SiI (see bottom of 
http://linux-ata.org/devel.html ).

The eSATA PCIe controllers (like 
http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/adsa3gpx1.asp) seem like 
useful additions for storage.

So anyway, knowing full well that there's no FBSD driver yet I went out and 
bought a 3124-based PCI-X card, which I'm offering for use in testing or as a 
tester. If worse comes to worse, I will have to take a stab at porting the 
Linux driver -- it's not very big and for the purposes of having 
straightforward 4 ports it seems doable.

So to return to the first question: any progress in this area? Has someone 
claimed this yet (S/oren comes to mind)?
