d043c56453 Bring in the LSI-supported version of the mps(4) driver.
This involves significant changes to the mps(4) driver, but is not a
complete rewrite.

Some of the changes in this version of the driver:
 - Integrated RAID (IR) support.
 - Support for WarpDrive controllers.
 - Support for SCSI protection information (EEDP).
 - Support for TLR (Transport Level Retries), needed for tape drives.
 - Improved error recovery code.
 - ioctl interface compatible with LSI utilities.

mps.4:		Update the mps(4) driver man page somewhat for the driver
		changes.  The list of supported hardware still needs to be
		updated to reflect the full list of supported cards.

conf/files:	Add the new driver files.

mps/mpi/*:	Updated version of the MPI header files, with a BSD style
		copyright.

mps/*:		See above for a description of the new driver features.

modules/mps/Makefile:
		Add the new mps(4) driver files.
