Only if you have either the "QLogic Fibre Channel HBA Driver" or the 
"Adaptec aic94xx SAS/SATA" driver in your server.

Unless you're using these two, this has no impact. And if you did have one 
of these, it wouldn't already be working for you, since you still don't have 
the requisite firmware to load, even with your existing kernel.
