This uses the scatter-gather chaining feature of Smart Array
controllers. 32 scatter-gather elements are embedded in the
"command list", and the last element in the list may be marked
as a "chain pointer", and point to an additional block of
scatter gather elements. The precise number of scatter gather
elements supported is dependent on the particular kind of
Smart Array, and is determined at runtime by querying the
hardware.

The intent of the scan thread was to allow a UNIT ATTENTION/LUN
DATA CHANGED condition encountered in the interrupt handler
to trigger a rescan of devices, which can't be done in interrupt
context. However, we weren't able to get this to work, due to
multiple such UNIT ATTENTION conditions arriving during the rescan,
during updating of the SCSI mid layer, etc. There's no way to tell
the devices, "stand still while I scan you!" Since it doesn't work,
there's no point in having the thread, as the rescan triggered via
ioctl or sysfs can be done without such a thread.

use scan_start and scan_finished entry points for scanning and route
the CCISS_REGNEWD ioctl and sysfs triggering of same functionality
through hpsa_scan_start.

The p1210m responsds to SCSI report LUNs, unlike traditional Smart
Array controllers. This means that the bus, target, and lun
assignments done by the driver cannot be arbitrary, but must match
what SCSI REPORT LUNS returns.

This is done by adding support for the so-called "performant mode"
(that's really what they called it). Smart Array controllers
have a mode which enables multiple command completions to be
delivered with a single interrupt, "performant" mode. We want to use
that mode, as some newer controllers will be requiring this mode.

That is, use u64, u32, u16 and u8 rather than __u64, __u32, __u16 and __u8.

This driver supports a subset of HP Smart Array Controllers.
It is a SCSI alternative to the cciss driver.
