Hi,
It turns out that support for this driver would require a very large
backport with several series of patches, involving significant
refactoring, code movement and other code change. This makes it very
hard for us to be sure that our backport is correct, and that it's not
going to fail unexpectedly on this new model or on any of the many
older models supported by this driver.
Therefore, we have decided that the complexity and risk of regression
is unacceptably high, and we will not be providing a backport to the
4.4 kernel series.
This means that you will need to use the HWE kernel for this
chassis. The Artful kernel, which is out next week, has full support.

Title:
LSI Harpoon support in megaraid_sas module
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
The Dell PERC H740 series RAID controllers, codename "Harpoon", are
not supported in standard Ubuntu kernels.
There is a series of kernel patches required to support these:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-
ker...@vger.kernel.org/msg1307314.html
There is also a relevant follow-up series:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg104667.html especially
patches 1 and 12.
The relevant PCI IDs from the PCI database
(http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids) are:
0016 MegaRAID Tri-Mode SAS3508
1028 1fc9 PERC H840 Adapter
1028 1fcb PERC H740P Adapter
1028 1fcd PERC H740P Mini
1028 1fcf PERC H740P Mini
They should be supported from Xenial onwards. The upstream commit is
going in for 4.11, so this will need to be backported to v4.4 and
v4.10.
I am working on SRU patches for this.
