Not just modern, old controllers too, eg DAC960 (i960), ExtremeRAID (StrongARM), Compaq Smart-2 (AMD 29k), etc. Hard disks too. Do a strings on Seagate SCSI disk firmware, the 'BOS' RTOS iirc. Intel IXP2x00 network accelerators are Xscale+added bits (there's a port of Fedora for them!).
Linux could be one of several OSes running on any given PC.
