The recent incorporation of the FreeBSD CISS SMART support into the 
mainstream smartmontools distribution has had some unexpected results on 
several HP ProLiant DL380 G3 machines.  I have five DL380/G3s with four 
drives each; all have the same symptoms now: querying a given ciss/scsi 
target gives results for the wrong drive:

smartctl -iH -d cciss,0 /dev/ciss0  gives results for target 2
"               cciss,1 "           "                        3
"               cciss,2 "           does not see the drive there
"               cciss,3 "           gives results for target 0
"               cciss,4 "           "                        1

The actual drives are at targets 0, 1, 2 and 3.

I'm wondering if this is due to the CISS controller type being 
misidentified.  Before, querying a target with no drive present yielded
"Device: COMPAQ Smart Array 5i Version: 2.66", which is correct.
Now, querying a target with no drive yields a variable result,
eg. "Device: COMPAQ   PROLIANT 4LCI DT Version: 1.84"
or  "Device: COMPAQ   PROLIANT 6L2I    Version: 0.01"
which are all incorrect.  See below for more detailed information.

Has anyone else seen a similar problem?  Should I file a FreeBSD PR, or 
take this up with the smartmontools project?

The CISS controller as seen by `pciconf -lv`:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ciss0@pci0:1:3:0:	class=0x010400 card=0x40800e11 chip=0xb1780e11 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Compaq Computer Corp (Now owned by Hewlett-Packard)'
    device     = 'CISSB SMART2 Array Controller'
    class      = mass storage
    subclass   = RAID


Relevant `dmesg` output:
