Is the lack of SMP support a driver limitation or is it
the silicon?

How about support for wide ports (i.e. when 2 or more HBA
phys are attached to remote phys which have the same SAS
addresses)?

Last question: can the chip run in SCSI target mode?


Just for everybody's information, the Marvell SAS/SATA chip for which I'm also writing a driver definitely supports all of that: SMP, STP, wire ports, SCSI target mode, even SATA target mode.
