I've no idea if the BIOS firmware mode can do MWDMA to the drives. The actual
interface between the card and the kernel has no mode stuff at all.

Interesting and definitely sounds like a bug.

I would imagine the controller fakes a hotplug event when the rebuild finishes
but that is guessing. The firmware mode is pretty minimally documented.
