I'm scared of this, because the ixl(4) LRO enabling story has not been
pleasant.  Many ixl(4) firmwares did thing wrong, and it has taken a long
time to cope with those bugs.  The ix(4) product is generally older
and may have some of the same bugs.

So I think it is fair to ask how many unique ix(4) models was this tested
on?
