I'm not entirely sure what to add there - I'm gathering you mean those 
lines:

       { PCI_VDEVICE(MARVELL, 0x6040), chip_604x },
       { PCI_VDEVICE(MARVELL, 0x6041), chip_604x },
       { PCI_VDEVICE(MARVELL, 0x6042), chip_6042 },
       { PCI_VDEVICE(MARVELL, 0x6080), chip_608x },
       { PCI_VDEVICE(MARVELL, 0x6081), chip_608x },

and so on, and thus would add something like:

      { PCI_VDEVICE(MARVELL, 0x11ab), chip_614x },

(for the 88SE614x apparently used on the RocketRAID 2300) except that 
there is no  "chip_614x" in the module.
Should I write "chip_604x" instead or do I need to do something else 
entirely.

Along the same lines, theres is an entry:

        { PCI_VDEVICE(TTI, 0x2310), chip_7042 },

in the sata_mv source. Should I add something like:

        { PCI_VDEVICE(TTI, 0x2300), chip_604x },

as well?

Last but not least: I'm assuming that this driver - when working 
correctly - will let me access the RAID arrays I setup via BIOS or 
Windows driver, but there will be no way to create or modify the arrays 
from within linux itself, right?

Thank for any help, past, present or future. :-)

Greetings, Karim.
