FreeBSD's atacontrol is actually a 'different sort of animal' - not just 
RAID.
- but it seems well-suited to extending for SMART querying.

Try 'atacontrol list', then 'atacontrol cap x y ' where 'x' is controller
channel 0 onward and 'y' is device 0 onward.
Similar sort of info (shows SMART presence/absence, enabled/disabled,
but not (yet) the actual SMART report.
So it is 'talking' to the drive controller already anyway.
