required Write IOs as Fast Path IOs (after the appropriate checks
allowing Fast Path to be used) to the appropriate physical drives
(translated from the OS logical IO) and wait for all Write IOs to complete.
Design: A write IO on RAID volume will be examined if it can be sent in
Fast Path based on IO size and starting LBA and ending LBA falling on to
a Physical Drive boundary. If the underlying RAID volume is a RAID 1/10,
driver issues two fast path write IOs one for each corresponding physical
drive after computing the corresponding start LBA for each physical drive.
Both write IOs will have the same payload and are posted to HW such that
replies land in the same reply queue.
If there are no resources available for sending two IOs, driver will send
the original IO from upper layer to RAID volume through the Firmware.
When both IOs are completed by HW, the resources will be released
and SCSI IO completion handler will be called.
