I've heard from Adaptec that they do not support or even test passthrough. If you're able to get it to work reliably, then don't patch!!

Hello from Adaptec.
Passthrough is not a supported, or tested feature currently. It may work with some controllers/drivers, but as this is not a tested functionality, we can't guarantee that this will work in general, or which controller/driver combinations may work.
Kind regards

This was support case #130805-000034 . I opened it because we were seeing a hang on aac driver load with a 6805 in RHEL5 and 6 after a warm boot of the VM. New firmware, new card, new drivers [30200] all 'round.
Good luck!
