+The driver can map devices discovered by the adapter so that target IDs
+corresponding to a specific device persist across resets and reboots.
+In some cases it is possible for devices to lose their mapped IDs due to
+unexpected behavior from certain hardware, such as some types of enclosures.
+To overcome this problem, a tunable is provided that will force the driver to
+map devices using the Phy number associated with the device.
+This feature is not recommended if the topology includes multiple
+enclosures/expanders.
+If multiple enclosures/expanders are present in the topology, Phy numbers are
+repeated, causing all devices at these Phy numbers except the first device to
+fail enumeration.
