Pretty close:  It isn't tested on real hardware, thats why the
restriction to qemu.  We had that for other drivers too: ahci started as
qemu-supported too, after testing+fixing on real hardware it got enabled
for everybody.  Given the age of real lsi hardware it is unlikely
anybody ever wants to use it on !qemu though ...

cheers,
  Gerd
