cd4ace0c76 Use the physical block number, not the logical block number, for I/O
operations.  The latter only works where the partion begins at the bottom
of the disk.  Whoops.

33c8cb18b3 Use a much larger buffer for message log retrieval until we are sure that
32 bytes is safe.

Handle successful completion of message log retrieval commands.

With these changes, the driver correctly handles the consequences of drive
death and replacement in a reliable array.  Note that the massive backlog
of I/O during handling of such an event can kill the system if softupdates
is enabled.

466454bd7b Fix mlx_diagnose_command so that it actually works. I can't believe this
has been broken since implemented.

f01f2af67a Save the drive device_t correctly so we can print it later.
The drive number is 5 bits, not 4, in the read/write command.

f6b84b08c9 Add support for the version 4 firmware interface and the DAC960 PG and
PJ cards.  This will probably also support the AcceleRAID and
eXtremeRAID cards, but nobody has volunteered one for testing, so I
haven't enabled their PCI device IDs.

Slightly clean up communication between the disk devices and the
controller device as per new practice, and move some more register-
related items int mlxreg.h from mlxvar.h.

Remove some unnecessary read-modify-write operations to the card
control registers; they don't behave like that.

Increase the status polling interval to 10 seconds.  It's still possible
to load the card up to the point where a status poll will find the
previous poll still running, but this will reduce the incidence of
complaints.

1ac4b82b11 This is a driver for the Mylex DAC960 family of integrated RAID
controllers.  It currently supports the P, PL, PD and PU variants,
with more to be supported shortly.
