New Revision: 199838
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/199838

Log:
  MFC r199043:
  Introduce hw.hptrr.attach_generic loader tunable to deny hptrr driver
  attach chips with generic Marvell (non-HighPoint) PCI identification.
  These chips are also supported by ata(4). Some vendors, like Supermicro,
  are using same chips without providing HPT RAID BIOS.
