			=== HBA mode? ===
			For older Smart Array adapters, you may be able to enable HBA mode (for passthrough) with this: https://github.com/im-0/hpsahba

			Limitations with this appears to be that you will not be able to boot from hard drive.

			My server at home with the HP Smart Array P410i is actually still running version 2.50 (released in 2009). The last firmware is 6.64 (released 2015). The Linux binary depends on 32bit libs to run, however.

			As a side note, the update file doesn't seem to run on Proxmox 7.3 properly as it keeps on throwing: <code>gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file</code>. Ignoring the bad return code by gzip seems to work because the tar file that it generates seems to extract cleanly.
