We would like to prevent any new changes on MPT (FC/SCSI/SAS/LAN) drivers as we don't have support for those cards anymore, is there a way we could remove those drivers from newer kernels or mark them as unmaintained?.

Yeah, I'm inclined to leave it as is. If somebody provides a Tested-by: I'll reconsider. -- Martin K. Petersen Oracle Linux Engineering
