 19  ****************************************************************
 20  * This driver supports the Adaptec I2O RAID and DPT SmartRAID V I2O boards.
 21  *
 22  * CREDITS:
 23  * The original linux driver was ported to Linux by Karen White while at 
 24  * Dell Computer.  It was ported from Bob Pasteur's (of DPT) original 
 25  * non-Linux driver.  Mark Salyzyn and Bob Pasteur consulted on the original
 26  * driver. 
 27  * 
 28  * 2.0 version of the driver by Deanna Bonds and Mark Salyzyn.
 29  *
 30  * HISTORY:
 31  * The driver was originally ported to linux version 2.0.34 
 32  *
 33  * V2.0 Rewrite of driver.  Re-architectured based on i2o subsystem.
 34  *   This was the first full GPL version since the last version used
 35  *   i2osig headers which were not GPL.  Developer Testing version.
 36  * V2.1 Internal testing
 37  * V2.2 First released version
 38  *
 39  * V2.3 
 40  *   Changes:
 41  *      Added Raptor Support
 42  *      Fixed bug causing system to hang under extreme load with 
 43  *         management utilities running (removed GFP_DMA from kmalloc flags)
 44  *
 45  *
 46  * V2.4 First version ready to be submitted to be embedded in the kernel
 47  *   Changes: 
 48  *      Implemented suggestions from Alan Cox
 49  *      Added calculation of resid for sg layer
 50  *      Better error handling
 51  *         Added checking underflow condtions 
 52  *         Added DATAPROTECT checking
 53  *         Changed error return codes
 54  *         Fixed pointer bug in bus reset routine
 55  *      Enabled hba reset from ioctls (allows a FW flash to reboot and use the new
 56  *         FW without having to reboot)
 57  *      Changed proc output
 58  *
 59  * TODO:
 60  *      Add 64 bit Scatter Gather when compiled on 64 bit architectures
 61  *      Add sparse lun scanning 
 62  *      Add code that checks if a device that had been taken offline is
 63  *         now online (at the FW level) when test unit ready or inquiry 
 64  *         command from scsi-core
 65  *      Add proc read interface
 66  *         busrescan command
 67  *         rescan command
 68  *      Add code to rescan routine that notifies scsi-core about new devices
 69  *      Add support for C-PCI (hotplug stuff)
 70  *      Add ioctl passthru error recovery
 71  *
 72  * NOTES:
 73  * The DPT card optimizes the order of processing commands.  Consequently,
 74  * a command may take up to 6 minutes to complete after it has been sent
 75  * to the board.  
 76  *
 77  * The files dpti_ioctl.h dptsig.h osd_defs.h osd_util.h sys_info.h are part of the
 78  * interface files for Adaptec's management routines.  These define the structures used
 79  * in the ioctls.  They are written to be portable.  They are hard to read, but I need
 80  * to use them 'as is' or I can miss changes in the interface.
 81  *
