IDENTIFY is an ATA command. It is not working there now, as mpt on some
level translates ATA into SCSI. `camcontrol inquiry da0` and the others
probably should work.

I am not sure what this sysctl does, but it is mpt driver own sysctl. It
has nothing common with number of tags used by CAM (at least directly).
