Bug Description
SRU justification:
Impact: The Serial Attached Scsi (SAS) diver for "Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 6440" is not included in the kernel. This prevents using SAS disks with Ubuntu jaunty. This driver is included in a number of motherboards (in my case an ASAS P5N64), and is required both for installation and running Ubuntu. The relevant line in lspci is:
08:00.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device [11ab:6440] (rev 02)
Fix: compile "mvsas" module in the linux kernel => option CONFIG_SCSI_MVSAS
Testcase: Installation with Marvel SAS will not detect disk without changes.

NB: The issue is the same for the -generic and -server kernels. The -generic is more important to fix as it is used for the installer cd/dvd images.
