One thing I forgot to include is:
# pciconf -lbcevV pci2:8:0:0
mpr0@pci2:8:0:0:	class=0x010700 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x1000 
device=0x0096 subvendor=0x1000 subdevice=0x3110
     vendor     = 'Broadcom / LSI'
     device     = 'SAS3004 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-3'
     class      = mass storage
     subclass   = SAS
