This also begs the question... what controller was being used, when the
single Maxtor device listed in the blacklist was added? Perhaps it was
a problem with the controller, not the device.

As reported here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177951

the controller was a 3114, and the bug was "fixed" by blacklisting his
Maxtor drive's FUA support. I'd like Maxtor drives to be
un-blacklisted if possible.

If its 3114 I agree un-blacklisting is the way to go... but its not clear to me whether the problematic configuration included sata_sil or sata_nv. Since I'm apparently blind :) which part of the bug points conclusively to sata_sil?
