I managed to get the linux version of aaccli working on 4.8.  I have a new 
install of 4.10 and I can't seem to make it work.  I've installed 
linux_base from ports and the linux version of aaccli.  When I try to use 
aaccli I get this:

CLI > open aac0
Executing: open "aac0"
Command Error: <The requested controller does not exist.>

If I try to manually load aac_linux.ko I get:

# kldload aac_linux
kldload: can't load aac_linux: Exec format error

after, kldstat shows:

# kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
  1    2 0x40100000 2d5484   kernel
  3    1 0x47bdc000 a000     aac.ko

Does anyone have any hints for me? (I'll supply dmesg, kernel config, etc 
in private if needed)
