Looks like it uses the LSI SAS2008 chipset (basically LSI controller
with HP branding), so you should enable kernel module mpt2sas
(CONFIG_SCSI_MPT2SAS) and probably some other SAS-related options will
be required as well if you don't already use them.

I actually just installed a card with this same chipset in my Gentoo
machine yesterday! I have not attached disks to it yet, as I am
waiting for the enclosure to be delivered, but so far nothing froze or
burst into flames when the module loaded. :)  I even upgraded the BIOS
and firmware on the card from within linux and everything seems okay,
so far.
