Bug #618: i/o hang with mega_sas driver

We have a system that has five (5) MegaRAID 8888ELP cards.  of the 10 channels on these cards, 9 of them are connected to 4 SATA drives each, for a total of 36 drives.   Whenever there is significant i/o, the i/o will hang on the system with the following symptoms:

* iostat -x shows that some of the drives are 100% blocked.  When this happens, the number of drives varies.  This most recent hang, there were six drives in this state.  They are always connected to a single controller, although which controller varies.
* ZFS commands all hang
* The command that was running (in this case a 'cp' commaand) also hangs.
* The box cannot be rebooted using either shutdown or reboot.  A power cycle is required
* There is nothing in /var/adm/messages related to disk i/o at the time of the hang, or since the last boot.

I'm attaching the output of "echo '::threadlist -v' | mdb -k" to this bug.  Please let me know what other information I can provide.

Thanks!

-Steve J
