Idea is probably to have megasas the default SCSI controller, if configured during compile time. Basically have a configure option '--scsi-hba=megasas' or somesuch. But then, you can 'easily' select the megasas HBA nowadays with -drive file=XXX,if=none,id=d1 \ -device megasas,id=m1 \ -device scsi-disk,drive=d1 So not sure if it's worthwhile.
