Add a mode of controller operation called Performant Mode. Even though
cciss has been deprecated in favor of hpsa there are new controllers due
out next year that HP must support in older vendor distros. Vendors
require all fixes/features be upstream. These new controllers support
only 16 commands in simple mode but support up to 1024 in performant mode.
This requires us to add this support at this late date.
The performant mode transport minimizes host PCI accesses by performinf
many completions per read. PCI writes are posted so the host can write
then immediately get off the bus not waiting for the writwe to complete to
the target. In the context of performant mode the host read out to a
controller pulls all posted writes into host memory ensuring the reply
queue is coherent.

There are several duplicate definitions in cciss_cmd.h and cciss_ioctl.h.
Consolidate these into the new cciss_defs.h file. This patch doesn't change
the definitions exposed under include/linux, so userspace apps shouldn't
be affected.

When doing an unexpected shutdown like kexec the cciss
firmware might still have some commands in flight, which
it is trying to complete.
The driver is doing it's best on resetting the HBA,
but sadly there's a firmware issue causing the firmware
_not_ to abort or drop old commands.
So the firmware will send us commands which we haven't
accounted for, causing the driver to panic.
With this patch we're just ignoring these commands as
there is nothing we could be doing with them anyway.

The MSA2012 cannot inform the driver of configuration changes since all
management is out of band. This is a departure from any storage we have
supported in the past. We need some way to detect changes on the topology
so we implement this kernel thread. In some instances there's nothing we
can do from the driver (like LUN failure) so just print out a message. In
the case where logical volumes are added or deleted we call
rebuild_lun_table to refresh the driver's view of the world.

This patch changes the way we complete commands. In the old method when we
got a completion we searched our command list from the top until we find it.
This method uses a tag associated with each command (not SCSI command tagging)
to index us directly to the completed command. This helps performance.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
