  "verdict": "The WarpDrive validation in mps_wd_config_pages only rejects NumPhysDisks > 8 (sys/dev/raid/mps/mps_config.c:399-400) while explicitly rejecting stripe-size 0 and block-size 0 (mps_config.c:428-433, 447-452) — a RAID0 volume page with zero physical disks passes, sets DD_num_phys_disks = 0 (mps_config.c:412) and WD_valid_config = TRUE (mps_config.c:511). Every subsequent READ/WRITE to the volume DevHandle then reaches `stripe_unit = physLBA / sc->DD_num_phys_disks` in mpssas_direct_drive_io (mps_sas.c:2190, 2269, 2347) — integer divide by zero, kernel panic on the first qualifying I/O by any unprivileged user of the device. Trigger is firmware/NVRAM-gated (controller config page, observed-class 0-disk RAID0 during volume teardown), hence speculative; the sink is certain from source. Not reproduced: guest has no SAS2/WarpDrive HBA (env.txt).",
