The Jaguar and Corsair class of adapters (2410, 2810, 2610, 21610, CERC)
perform better (about 10% better read performance, write performance
neutral) with current Firmware if the OS limits the number of scatter
gather elements to 17 per request.

This patch adds the 'new comm' interface, which modern AAC based
adapters that are less than a year old support in the name of much
improved performance. These modern adapters support both the legacy and
the 'new comm' interfaces.

Juan was kind enough to linger on site, and work on a production
machine, to try the parameter to make the system stable. He discovered
that reducing the maximum transfer size issued to the adapter to 128KB
stabilized his system. This is related to an earlier change for the
2.6.13 tree resulting from Martin Drab's testing where the transfer size
was reduced from 4G to 256KB; we needed to go still further in scaling
back the request size.
Here is the patch that tames this regression.

High Priority Queues have *never* been used in the entire history of the
aac based adapters. Associated with this, aac_insert_entry can be
removed, SavedIrql can be removed & padding variable can be removed.
With the movement of SavedIrql out & replaced with an automatic variable
qflags, the locking can be refined somewhat. The sparse warnings did not
catch the need for byte swapping in the 'dprintk' debugging print
macros, so fixed this up when this code was moved outside of the now
refined locking.

Hotplug sniffs the AIFs (events) from the adapter and if a container
change resulting in the device going offline (container zero), online
(container zero completed) or changing capacity (morph) it will take
actions by calling the appropriate API.

There are a few adapters that are capable of creating devices with this large
of a capacity, but now that we have the large fib support in, the management
applications will be capable of generating them. The problem is, once they are
created, the driver will not be able to access the devices correctly without
this patch.

This patch adds support for the new raw io command. This new command
offers much larger io commands, is more friendly to the internal firmware
structure requiring less translation efforts by the firmware and offers
support for targets greater than 2TB (patch to support >2TB will
be sent in the future).

Add in pci shutdown method so that the adapter shuts down correctly and
flushes its cache. Shutdown should also disable the adapter's interrupt
when shutdown (in particularly if the driver is rmmod'd) to prevent
spurious hardware activities.

Martin Drab found that he could get aacraid timeouts with high load on his
controller / disk drive combinations. After some experimentation Mark
Salyzyn has come up with a patch to reduce the default max_sectors to
something that will keep the controller from being overloaded and will
eliminate the timeout issues.

New code from the Adaptec driver. Performance enhancement for newer
adapters. I hope that this isn't too big for a single patch. I believe
that other than the few small cleanups mentioned, that the changes are
all related.
- Added Variable FIB size negotiation for new adapters.
- Added support to maximize scatter gather tables and thus permit
requests larger than 64KB/each.
- Limit Scatter Gather to 34 elements for ROMB platforms.
- aac_printf is only enabled with AAC_QUIRK_34SG
- Large FIB ioctl support
- some minor cleanup
Passes sparse check.
I have tested it on x86 and ppc64 machines.

This patch addresses the sparse -Wbitwise warnings that Christoph wanted
me to eliminate. This mostly consisted of making data structure
elements of hardware associated structures the __le* equivalent.
Although there were a couple places where there was mixing of cpu and le
variable math. These changes have been tested on both an x86 and ppc
machine running bonnie++. The usage of the LE32_ALL_ONES macro has been
eliminated.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
