BTW, a guy here at work has a panic with his Promise controller here
at work.  He is not using any type of RAID, but it dies with the
following traceback:

ad_service+0x36
ad_transfer()
ata_start()
ad_strategy()
ar_rw()
ar_promise_read_conf()
ata_raiddisk_attach()
...
ata_boot_attach()

The line at ad_service+0x36 is:

sys/dev/ata/ata-disk.c:678:

int
ad_service(struct ad_softc *adp, int change)
{
        ...
        if (adp->device->unit == ATA_MASTER) {
*           if (adp->device->channel->devices & ATA_ATA_SLAVE &&
                ((struct ad_softc *)
                 (adp->device->channel->
                  device[ATA_DEV(ATA_SLAVE)].driver))->flags&AD_F_TAG_ENABLED)
                device = ATA_SLAVE;
        }

The panic is a page fault null-pointer dereference.  Since we looked
at adp->device_unit ok w/o blowing up, my guess is that
adp->device->channel is NULL.  This is during bootup btw, and he's had
this panic for several months now.
