I think it would be helpful to provide clear indication in cciss'
Kconfig description about which controllers are the last ones to be
supported by cciss and starting from which ones hpsa is needed.

In addition the dev_warn before returning -ENODEV could include a
hint that newish controllers need hpsa driver instead of just saying
"unrecognized board ...", this at least when hpsa driver was not
included in kernel build.
