I've been able to build an hybridized version of 2.6.32 and 2.6.36
moving just megaraid_sas but it doesn't work (furthermore the
megaraid_sas.ko is suspiciously much larger than the previous one
x10).
Moving all megaraid dir I incur in the problem described here:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9904413&postcount=7

between 32 and 36 linux-source-2.6.36/include/scsi/scsi_host.h
changed and this affect the ability to compile newer megaraid
drivers inside 32 kernel.

I actually don't know how to run 2.6.36 from experimental without
already having a corresponding initrd in the ISO install that
support that controller.

I don't know how to help further to increase the chances that
squeeze will have support for these controllers.

If you could point me to some instructions I could follow to give
you some useful feedback I'll be happy to try.

thanks
