Good news; The fooks at Marvell have provided me with their adapted 
smartmontools sources that
already work with their driver (although I did not test it yet). It is 
based on smartmontools 5.1-14,
which was before the os_.* files were introduced.

Just to do not go wrong here; given that smartmontools is GPL, although 
I am under NDA with Marvell, I
should at least be safely able to implement their changes back into 
smartmontools, right?

If so, my plan is to generate a set of patches against 5.1-14, test it, 
bring this forward to the current
release (if time allows all this).

Leon Woestenberg.
