Except the drivers _aren't_ solid, at least in Solaris(tm). The 
OpenSolaris drivers may have been fixed (I know a lot of work is going 
into them, but I haven't tested them), but those fixes have not made it 
back into the supported realm.

So if you need to run a supported OS, I'd skip the Marvell chips if 
possible, at least for now.
