They've been supported for years.  Be careful, though, because the PCI-X
and PCI-E Marvell parts aren't "Yukon", they're "Yukon 2" (a.k.a. "Yukon
XL") and have a different interface, which we _don't_ yet support.  To
properly support them will likely require a new device driver.  Linux
has support, but they're in the unenviable situation of having a very,
very ugly vendor driver that's basically two complete drivers in one,
supporting all the Genesis/Yukon/Yukon2 variants, or a much cleaner
home-grown driver that supports *only* the newest Y2 parts.
