On the other hand, you should be able to get it working perfectly fine in ZFS using IR mode.
I have a half rack in the UK and have a couple of boxes with ASUS motherboards andM1015s flashed to IT firmware and a couple of ASUS motherboards with PIKE cards in using the IR firmware. Apart from the fact that one set has PIKE with IR and the others have M1015 with IT firmware, the servers are identical, disk configuration etc. There is no noticable performance difference between either and they are just ZFS storage servers.
