This patch has Support for the new solid state device product SSS6200
from LSI and relavent features w.r.t SSS6200.
The major feature added in this driver is supporting Direct-I/O to the
SSS6200 storage.There are some additional changes done to avoid exposing
the RAID member disks to the OS and hiding/exposing drives based on the
OEM Specific Flag in Manufacturing Page10 (this is required to handle
specific changes in the SSS6200 firmware).
Each and every changes are listed below.
1. Hiding IR related messages.
For SSS6200, the driver is modified not to print IR related events.
Even if the debugging is enabled the IR related messages will not be displayed.
In some places if there is a need to display a message related to IR the
string "IR" is replaced with string "DD" and the string "volume" is replaced
with "direct drive". But the function names are not changed hence there are
some places where the reference to volume can be seen if debug level is set.
2. Removed RAID transport support
In Linux the user can retrieve RAID volume information from the sysfs directory.
This support is removed for SSS6200.
3. Direct I/O support.
The driver tries to enable direct I/O when a volume is reported to the driver
by the firmware through IRCC events and the driver does this just before
reporting to the OS, hence all the OS issued I/O can go through direct path
if they can, The first validation is to see whether the manufacturing page10
flag is set to expose all drives always. If that is set, the driver will not
enable direct I/O and displays the message "DDIO" is disabled globally as
drives are exposed. The driver checks whether there is more than one volume
in the controller, if so the direct I/O will be disabled globally for all
volumes in the controller and the message displayed will be "DDIO is disabled
globally as number of drives > 1.
If retrieving number of PD is failed the driver will not enable direct I/O
and displays the message Failure in computing number of drives DDIO disabled.
If memory allocation for RAIDVolumePage0 is failed, the driver will not enable
direct I/O and displays the message Memory allocation failure for
RVPG0 DDIO disabled. If retrieving RAIDVolumePage0 is failed the driver will
not enable direct I/O and displays the message Failure in retrieving
RVPG0 DDIO disabled
If the number of PD in a volume is greater than 8, then the direct I/O will
be disabled.
If any of individual drives handle retrieval is failed then the DD-IO will
be disabled.
If the volume is not RAID0 or if the block size is not 512 then the DD-IO will
be disabled.
If the volume size is greater than 2TB then the DD-IO will be disabled.
If the driver is not able to find a valid stripe exponent using the configured
stripe size then the DD-IO will be disabled
When the DD-IO is enabled the driver will check every I/O request issued to
the storage and checks whether the request is either
READ6/WRITE6/READ10/WRITE10, if it is and if the complete I/O transfer
is within a stripe size then the I/O is redirected to
the drive directly instead of the volume.
On completion of every I/O, if the completion is failure means if the reply
is address reply with a reply frame associated with it, then the type of I/O
will be checked, if the I/O is direct then the I/O will be retried to
the volume once.

Added tests for registry entries of EXBuffSize, EXImmed, and EXType to
support the new Extended diag buffer type. Modified code where necessary to
handle the new ExtendedType field in the F/W diagnostic Post and Release
messages.

Diagnostic buffer support is already there in the driver. This support allows
applications to pull ring buffers from controller firmware for debugging
firmware related issues.
What this patch does is sends reqeust to firmware to release the buffers prior
to host reset. This will allow what ever debug info is there prior to reset
to be dma'd to host memory. With out this fix, some of the debug data would
been lost.

The current magic number is shared with mptsas driver. This to be unique to
fix issues with register_ioctls32_conversion in older kernels. We are making
this change across all versions of the sas2.0 drivers.
