Ah...another issue:
# ./mstflint/mstflint -d /proc/bus/pci/0084\:05/00.0 q
*** ERROR *** Can't open /proc/bus/pci/0084:05/00.0: Can not obtain Flash semaphore (63). You can use -clear_semaphore to force semaphore unlock. See help for details.

I expect that's due to the previous failure not cleaning up behind itself.
After clearing the flash semaphore:

Board ID:   V_ym (MT_0200000001)

I don't know what to make of the "76-" for board ID.
Could this be a prototype board with some HP generated firmware?

Is "Board ID" the only way to tell which vendor provided an HCA?
I normally expect Subsystem ID to tell me that but have the impression
(after looking at several PCI-X HCAs I have installed) that I can't
trust that in this case. :(
