Merging into the upstream kernel is not necessary for exposure.
Historically, saying "no" to a single vendor pushing really hard -- as

Just follow the recipe Christoph outlined. It's not difficult, just
requires some work.

So far, this is an Adaptec-only solution.
It does an end run around 90% of the SCSI core. You might as well make
it a block driver, if you're going to do that.
