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.

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.
