I've got a backup server here with a DPT SmartRAID IV (PM3334UW) running
3.3-STABLE from Nov 17.  About 15 minutes of playing and I've got the programs
compiling cleanly, however:

root@tyberius:/usr/src/usr.sbin/dpt/dpt_ctlinfo$ ./dpt_ctlinfo
./dpt_ctlinfo ERROR:  Failed to open "(null)" - Bad address

Looking at the code some more, I see:

    if ( (fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR)) == -1 ) {
                (void)fprintf(stderr, "%s ERROR:  Failed to open \"%s\" -
%s\n",
                                          argv[0], argv[1], strerror(errno));
                exit(1);
    }

So, I'm stuck with a compiling program and I don't know what it wants as an
argument. Anything I try give me an:

root@tyberius:/usr/src/usr.sbin/dpt/dpt_ctlinfo$ ./dpt_ctlinfo /dev/da0
./dpt_ctlinfo ERROR:  Failed to send IOCTL c0444403 - Inappropriate ioctl for
device

I'll be looking into this some more over the next couple days, but any hints
or suggestions are more than welcome. If I can get it running in this
3.3-STABLE server, then I'll steal the controller for a weekend and bang out
some -CURRENT code, although I think the necessary changes (STABLE -> CURRENT)
should be fairly minor.
