On the machine I'm currently testing with: no, not that I can
think of.  I'm a little confused why ahcisata_pci.c's match()
routing returns 3 while twa.c's match() routine returns 1 --
isn't this supposed to be a "priority value" where the highest
one wins?

How does other folks' 3ware controllers probe with twa, then?
Only because ahcisata doesn't match their controllers?

Is there something wonky with my specific controller? (I'm
beginning to suspect so...)

OK.

Will do those things as well when time permits.
