Otherwise, after doing a RAID level migration, the disk will be
disruptively removed and re-added as a different disk on rescan.

The firmware may have been updated, in which case, it's the same device,
and in that case, we do not want to remove and add the device, we want to
let it continue as is.

<title>[SCSI] hpsa: fix redefinition of PCI_DEVICE_ID_CISSF</title>

PCI_DEVICE_ID_CISSF is defined as 323b in pci_ids.h but redefined as 3fff in
hpsa.c. The ID of 3fff will _never_ ship as a standalone controller. It is
intended only as part a complete storage solution. As such, this patch
removes the redefinition and the StorageWorks P1210m from the product table.

It also removes a duplicate line for the "unknown" controller support.

Move the mid-layer's -&gt;queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation.  No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch.  All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
	struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
	void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd-&gt;scsi_done.

Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change.  Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

The doorbell reset initially appears to work correctly,
the controller resets, comes up, some i/o can even be
done, but on at least some Smart Arrays in some servers,
it eventually causes a subsequent controller lockup due
to some kind of PCIe error, and kdump can end up leaving
the root filesystem in an unbootable state.  For this
reason, until the problem is fixed, or at least isolated
to certain hardware enough to be avoided, the doorbell
reset should not be used at all.

Some controllers might try to tell us they support 0 commands
in performant mode.  This is a lie told by buggy firmware.
We have to be wary of this lest we try to allocate a negative
number of command blocks, which will be treated as unsigned,
and get an out of memory condition.

<title>[SCSI] hpsa: separate intx and msi/msix interrupt handlers</title>

There are things which need to be done in the intx
interrupt handler which do not need to be done in
the msi/msix interrupt handler, like checking that
the interrupt is actually for us, and checking that the
interrupt pending bit on the hardware is set (which we
weren't previously doing at all, which means old controllers
wouldn't work), so it makes sense to separate these into
two functions.

The 6402/6404 are two PCI devices -- two Smart Array controllers
-- that fit into one slot.  It is possible to reset them independently,
however, they share a battery backed cache module.  One of the pair
controls the cache and the 2nd one access the cache through the first
one.  If you reset the one controlling the cache, the other one will
not be a happy camper.  So we just forbid resetting this conjoined
mess.

<content type='text'>
Smart Array controllers newer than the P600 do not honor the
PCI power state method of resetting the controllers.  Instead,
in these cases we can get them to reset via the "doorbell" register.

This escaped notice until we began using "performant" mode because
the fact that the controllers did not reset did not normally
impede subsequent operation, and so things generally appeared to
"work".  Once the performant mode code was added, if the controller
does not reset, it remains in performant mode.  The code immediately
after the reset presumes the controller is in "simple" mode
(which previously, it had remained in simple mode the whole time).
If the controller remains in performant mode any code which presumes
it is in simple mode will not work.  So the reset needs to be fixed.

Unfortunately there are some controllers which cannot be reset by
either method. (eg. p800).  We detect these cases by noticing that
the controller seems to remain in performant mode even after a
reset has been attempted.  In those case, we proceed anyway,
as if the reset has happened (and skip the step of waiting for
the controller to become ready -- which is expecting it to be in
"simple" mode.)  To sum up, we try to do a better job of resetting
the controller if "reset_devices" is set, and if it doesn't work,
we print a message and try to continue anyway.
