>Description:
According to mlxctl(8), "mlxctl -a status" should display the status of
all drives on mlx0.  However:

balrog# ./mlxctl -a status
usage: mlxctl [-f dev] [-av] command [...]

>How-To-Repeat:
mlxctl -a status

>Fix:
It looks like specifying "-a" causes mlxctl to try to read the list of
disks on the current controller before it's opened a file descriptor on
it.  Thus, it concludes that there are no logical disks on the controller,
and gives a usage message.
