  Series 7, this can be disabled with driver parameter "aac_convert_sgl" for
  testing purposes
- New container read/write command structure for Series 7
- Fast response support for the SCSI pass-through path added
- Async. status response buffer changes

This also stops using the "legacy crap" in Scsi_Host (shost-&gt;base is an
unsigned long).

This affected 32-bit systems that have 64-bit resource sizes, causing the
IO address to be truncated.

<content type='text'>
Added new hardware device 0x28b interface for PMC-Sierra's SRC based
controller family.

- new src.c file for 0x28b specific functions
- new XPORT header required
- sync. command interface: doorbell bits shifted (SRC_ODR_SHIFT, SRC_IDR_SHIFT)
- async. Interface: different inbound queue handling, no outbound I2O
  queue available, using doorbell ("PmDoorBellResponseSent") and
  response buffer on the host ("host_rrq") for status
- changed AIF (adapter initiated FIBs) interface: "DoorBellAifPending"
  bit to inform about pending AIF, "AifRequest" command to read AIF,
  "NoMoreAifDataAvailable" to mark the end of the AIFs

Problem description:
--------------------

The problem reported by one of the customer was when a logical array
is deleted(from the SDK, from the GUI, from arcconf) then the
corresponding physical device (/dev/sdb, for example) is not removed
from the Linux namespace. So you end up with a "dead" device
entry. And some of the linux tools go slightly wonky.

Solution:
---------

Based on the notification from FW, the driver calls
"scsi_remove_device" for the DELETED drive. This call not only informs
the scsi device status to the SCSI mid layer and also it will remove
corresponding scsi device entries from the Linux sysfs.

When the JBOD is created from the OS using Adaptec Storage Manager
utility device is not available under FDISK until a system restart is
done.

Solution:
---------

AIF handling: If there is a JBOD drive added to the system, identify
the old one with scsi_device_lookup() and remove it to enable a fresh
scsi_add_device(); else the new JBOD is not available until reboot.
