It looks to me like the "aacraid" driver in FreeBSD handles this, and that
looks to be an evolution of the "aac" driver.  The driver would not be too
hard to port I reckon.

We used to get engineering samples from Mark Salyzyn at DPT/Adaptec every
time they released something significant but he has long left the company.
