Hi,
I'm trying to add a PCIe SSD to act as an L2ARC but it's not going well. The
device is found at boot:
2016-03-07T23:57:39.395442+00:00 i7 sata: [ID 663010 kern.info]

Shows up in the picl tree (abbreviated)

And under cfgadm (abbreviated)
[root@i7 ~]# cfgadm
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
sata0/0::dsk/c1t0d0 disk connected configured ok
sata1/7 processor connected unconfigured ok
usb1/1 usb-hub connected configured ok
usb1/1.6 usb-storage connected configured ok
sata0/0::1t0d0 is the hard drive, usb1/1.6 is presumably the USB thumb drive.
But if I try to configure the disk:
[root@i7 ~]# cfgadm -c configure sata1/7
cfgadm: Hardware specific failure: Failed to config device at ap_id:
/devices/pci@0,0/pci8086,3b42@1c/pci1b4b,9230@0:7
devfsadm also fails to create a /dev/dsk/ entry, unsurprisingly.
The device itself is a Marvell 88se9230 and is in the same family as 88se9128
which definitely has a driver:

https://www.illumos.org/issues/3815 <https://www.illumos.org/issues/3815>
Problem exists as of 20160304T005100Z.
I had a look for a compatibility table so I could just add new the pci id and
see if it goes, but to no avail. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave
