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.
