This is a message that ATA passthrough information is available for an undecoded
op code. These usually occur when a SMART request is issued against something 
that doesn't understand SMART, such as a CD-ROM. They are harmless, though
annoying.

I don't recall if there is a fix, nor how one would cleanly and consistently insititute a 
fix for ATA devices at the other end of a SAS fabric, but I'll bet a steak dinner this 
error message can occur in any or all versions of 151006.
