isci module is missing in the latest Debian testing amd64 iso

[rick@microway.com]

Hi All,

I'm trying to install the latest Debian testing version (iso dated
2012-10-15) on a new quad socket romley system.  The system only has Intel
SAS ports for drives, which use the isci driver.  It seems the isci driver
is completely missing from the latest iso.  I haven't tried any older
versions to check if older versions had it, but some googling I've done
indicates they did. The kernel on this release is 3.2.0-3.

How can I add the isci driver back in?

Why was it removed in the first place?  Was it because of the firmware
blob?  If so, it would make much more sense to include the driver but
require adding the firmware blob - that's much easier to do during an
install.

Thanks,
Rick
