The DPT I2O driver was never converted to the new driver model. The
driver from what I can see is a mess. It doesn't even compile in 2.4
for a number of archs like amd64.

A while back a bunch of people (including myself) raised the concern
through various channels with adaptec. In theroy someone at adaptec is
working on it, but there was not an ETA.
