[vfio-users] RocketRaid 1144c / AsMedia 1042a

[Bradley Davis]

I have a 1144E and was able to pass the individual controllers through to
different VMs. My only issue was stability with the USB 3 controllers. They
would cause my VMs to crash or hang, when hung I would have to reboot the
host. I haven't run into this issue since I removed the card. I updated the
firmware on the USB 3 controllers and it didn't help. The SATA controllers
passed through just fine, but I didn't have an eSATA to plug into it.
